Guardian:
Europe's leading football clubs, unhappy about changes to the format of the Champions League, will today demand a greater share of the television rights money and more control over the way the competition is run.
The G14 group, made up of the continent's most influential clubs including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United, are meeting in Monaco this morning to formulate their response to Uefa's decision to abolish the second group stage of next year's Champions League competition.
The clubs are angry that they were not consulted before Uefa announced the changes two months ago and they now want a greater say in the way the tournament is run. In what is expected to be a heated meeting the G14 group will demand to see Uefa's evidence that the second group stage is unpopular with television audiences, having already called for the governing body to make public any figures it has relating to the alleged declining popularity of the competition.
Peter Kenyon demanded greater influence with Uefa. "There is concern that the clubs were not consulted," he said. "The emphasis should be on getting the clubs involved. There's nothing to suggest that either the fans or the television companies want change and there is nothing stopping us from changing things back again."
Must have been a different Peter Kenyon at IMUSA and SU meetings who apparently ‘shared fans concerns’ over the CL structure then.
