Yup agreed. G14 won't allow it i'm sure of it.
Besides G14 want to have another group stage again like there used to be.
I dare say the underachieving French sides are waiting with a greater degree of expectation than English, Spanish or Italian clubs.
The UEFA Executive Committee has 14 members including the President, so Platini's plan to reduce the max number of entrants from one member country in the CL is not his decision alone. As it is, the CL is a massive financial success and at the end of the day, surely money will talk louder
Platini may yet have to eat humble pie, as ASS Wenger had already commented that Platini may not be able to deliver his promises
