this debate will not go away, and indeed there are probably many topics on this subjet on here, nonetheless, why woul uefa say they are breaking the rules.
there's nothing in the rules to say a defending champion cant defend the title, nor is it in the middle of the season as gaillard points out.
why is he speaking for all uefa. i think they'll give lfc special dispensation, and allow them in, while Arsenal will have to qualify thru prelims, or turkey will lose a place. however, how difficult is it to award an extra place to the champions, surely it wont upset fixtures with todays computers able to organise fixture lists etc.
whats the problem??
have you say here people
