Mainly because of the 3 teams per country rule for the Champions League - the big 4 Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea are so reliant on qualifying it would signal big problems if one of those was to be excluded. Even Alex Ferguson has spoken out about it already! The thing is I can see the G14 disbanding, forming a European Super League if one of their teams isn't in the Champions League. And with that the G14 will take all the money and all the big names along with it! And that's not going to be great for football! This is bad news for football.

Put simply it will in a small way help spread the wealth through European football and not just to the big clubs in the big leagues. The result hopefully will be greater competition both domestically and in Europe. And if the league champions of Slovakia can afford to keep their players then they won't be clogging up the lower regions of the premier league Don’t know about the other ideas, but i’m fully in favour of a max. of 3 teams per country in the CL.
