UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Dogtanian]

I think this may be the key bit;

"Uefa investigated Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig, both linked to the energy drinks giant, after they qualified for the Champions League in 2017 but found that 'no individual or legal entity had a decisive influence over more than one club'".

Which, translates as "They're German, so it's ok"

What's happened!?

UEFA having a meeting about us/Vitoria, among others: https://twitter.com/samcunningham/status/1673308397674872838

The journalist is just shit stirring. There's no problem with us and Vittoria as V Sports only control 46% of Vittoria, less than the 51% you need for control. I believe the UEFA meeting is about relaxing the rules, anyway. The Vittoria president has confirmed that this was all checked as being legit when Nas and Wes invested.

Yeah, you can't really imagine these guys bollocksing up over something like this. Lerner or Shitty Shoes, yeah absolutely, but not this lot

Red Bull Salzburg and Leipzig have both been in the Champion's League

[Drummond]

I can well imagine the discussion trying to work out how to support the Red Bull and City models and fucking the likes of Brighton and us.

“The lower ranked team would be disqualified” which is Vitoria anyway.

As Risso said, there really is nothing to see here

[kippaxvilla2]

No aren’t they ranked higher than us as they finished higher in their league?

[eamonn]

Only Woma wank higher than us.

I thought it was based on coefficient? Ours is 21.914 and theirs is 11.243.

No, if it was a problem (which it isn't) then we'd be removed, as Vittoria finished higher in the league (6th). The rankings only come into play if two teams finished in the same position.

So the finals going to be in Athens, AEK Stadium. 31,000 capacity, improvement on the 19,000 one in Prague for the West Ham game.

You'd imagine we might get 10k for that?

[Dogtanian]

Apparently, this announcement says V Sports have reduced our holding in Vitoria to 17%;
