You are asked to create a qualification system for the FIFA world cup and the UEFA champions league so that the competition is played between the best of the best without any freebies for smaller nations

Write down the amount of teams from each confederation that should be represented in the World Cup AND
The amount of teams from each national league that should be represented in the CL

I'll start with the WC
>Africa 0
>Oceania 0
>NA 3
>Asia 3
>South America 10 (yes, all of them)
>Europe 16
Probably make New Zealand and the best African team to play play-offs between each other and the winner to play against the last team in South America

CL I don't even know if spamming it with with teams from the top leagues and spicing it up with a few Portugese, French, Russian and Ukrainian teams is a good idea, Belgian champions probably don't make the cut

What everyone must understand is that owners view football clubs as a business, first and foremost.

And rightly so.

Would you risk your own investments for the sake of fan satisfaction?

Also, I've been seeing a lot of fans mentioning why is Claudio getting the sack but Wenger not?

You've got to look at it this way..

Yes Lesta won the league but there was (and still is) a very good chance they go down this season. That is going to lose them a shit ton of money next season.

All the good players (if there's any left) will leave and Lesta may find themselves tumbling down the football leagues.

As the OWNER of a business, what are you going to do? Take a risk and change something and see if new management can change their fortune or stick with what you've got and hope for the best?

Even though, it hasn't all season.

Wenger has never in 21 years at Arsenal ever really put them in a position where the owner's investments are at risk.

That's the difference.

It's the unpopular opinion but, it's the way I see it.
