Bye-bye 4th placed CL spot 
IMO very very wise decision, Lennart J was a bit of an arse and had been in place far too long!

what were Platini's other ideas/policies? Ive heard him spout off a few things over the years and not all have been too good.

One thing I found he is in favour of...
Meanwhile Chelsea may be on the receiving end of Uefa proposals, in line with the recent Independent European Sports Review, to limit a club's wages to an as-yet-unspecified proportion of turnover.
If Uefa take the issue to the EU, it could end the unlimited transfer budget available to Chelsea.
And Arsenal - which went heavily overdrawn to build its Emirates Stadium - and Manchester United, have to keep servicing their debts, which could leave them unable to financially compete for the services of the best global players.

another thing I found....
'He had also been advocating the introduction of two extra assistant referees to aid match officials, rather than resort to the use of video technology.'

In an ideal world yes...but I think 3 teams from each country would be better...
What I do beleive is that we should make the Champions League knock-out from the very start like the old days..
Much more exciting...

That would be fucking stupid IMO. Football has done well enough for past god knows how many years without bringing into play stupid stuff like this.
LEAVE THE RULES ALONE, AND SORT OUT WHATS WRONG WITH THE REST OF THE GAME

Only having the Champions in is stupid IMO.
Makes little difference anyway, G14 wont allow it and would just break away and make thier own competition as they said last time it was proposed.

Tbh I would rather have Video technology but have instant feedback for the referee to aid him when there is indecision between him and his assistants.

Id even be happy with video evidence being used after a game more than it is....even if a ref said he has seen something but got it wrong.

Indeed, especially with yellow/red cards which were wrongfully given and can rule vital players out of games.
