David Moyes has slammed proposals which would see the so called big six protecting themselves from failure as new Uefa plans would make it easier for them to qualify for the Champions League.

The proposals for the 2024-25 Champions League would mean Arsenal and Manchester United, based on their competition history, qualifying for the Champions League if they finished fifth or won the FA Cup — but would not allow the likes of West Ham that chance.

It seems that Uefa is attempting to bring in proposals which would see clubs coming close to being involved in a European Super League which caused outrage and eventually collapsed a year back.

The UEFA coefficient proposals are also opposed by fans, the majority of European clubs and by Moyes, who said: ‘I don’t think it sits correctly with anyone who is a football supporter.

The Football Supporters Association, with backing from fans of the Big Six, have always been 100 per cent opposed to any attempt to resurrect such a plan and remain militant in their attitude.

They said in a statement:  ‘We are united in opposition to proposals to reform the Champions League that are a back door attempt at a return to the discredited idea of a European Super League.

‘These proposals will only widen the gap between rich clubs and the rest, at the same time wrecking domestic league calendars, with the expectation that fans sacrifice yet more time and money attending meaningless group games.’

Sadly Uefa has become a law unto itself and that they have done down this road at all – after the outrage it caused when the so called big clubs tried to do their own thing – is a total disgrace.
