Even as a fan of a team that will be included I am absolutely disgusted by this plan and if it goes ahead then I am out as a fan.

It is absolutely vital that football operates on a merit based system. This move is clearly not about what's best for the game or the fans and is 100% down to owners wanting to earn the most money possible and mitigate the monetary downfalls from failure to perform on the field. This is probably especially prevalent in the EPL where 6 teams into 4 spots does not go even before you have teams like Leicester outperforming the big teams. I'd imagine the Spanish teams are also in because of ballooning debt during COVID from overspending and have no backup plan for when shit hit the fan.

Any sporting event where teams qualify on name value alone instead of merit removes all the integrity from the game and makes a mockery of the system.
