Champions League representants for Germany next year

[TheBoss84]

As the title says wich should be our Champions League representers next year.

I would like to see Bayern, Schalke and Leverkusen or HSV.

What do you think?

[blazsovszkyc]

I wouldn't leave Werder Bremen out, they represent Germany in Europe with success, so I would like Bayern, Werder and whoever finishes third

[LebenslangGruenWeiss]

I'd like to see the following 3 clubs representing our beloved Germany:

FC Ederbergland Battenberg Allendorf
Salamander Kornwestheim
and Rotes Banner Trinwillershagen

I'd like to see the teams who finish in the bundesliga top 3 representing us...:rolleyes:

That's crazy talk. :D

Personally, I would like to see the top 4 again. ;)

[Vfbstuttgartfan]

Well, me too, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. :o :(

The Italian top teams lose the right to sell their TV rights individually in 2010/2011, and Madrid/Barcelona seem to be coming under similar pressure...that should reshuffle things quite a bit, for example Juventus is expected to get 70 million Euros less a year.

Maybe if we rebuild the wall everyone will think East Germany is back and BFC Dynamo gets an additional CL spot every year? It's a stretch, but maybe worth a try...

Is that settled for the Serie A? The Bundesliga might really benefit from that in the CL...

agreed
judging from their form and overall strength now, it is hard to see Bayern and Werder missing out the top 3 spots.
Schalke is gaining momentum as well and for me, they seem more apt to the playing style of CL. They give me a consistent feeling and are a safe bet to perform well in the tournament.

Hamburg will be changing their coach next season and VdV will leave them as well. I cannot be sure if they will give a good performance if they reach the CL next season.
Leverkusen lacks experience and (no offense) I do think their team is not yet prepared to take on the big guns in CL.

However, it was Berlusconi who enabled the individual TV rights sales in 1999, and given the current political turmoil he might get back to power.

i want to see bayern, bremen and schalke or mb leverkusen.
Stuttgart and HSV looked very bad in the CL last years.

[cdmphy]

There's a good reason for most of the teams, although obviously Bayern is always good for UEFA coefficient

But I can say who I don't want

Stuttgart - the way they capitulated this year still infuriates me
Hamburg - new coach, loss of talisman could mean a rough run in CL and hurt coefficient
KSC - you can't go from Zwei to CL in two years. It's too much to ask and they would lose in the prelims. That's not a dig, just reality. Would love to see them get a UEFA spot though

[Cirdan]

Actually, I'd rather have an occasional flop in the CL like Stuttgart this season or Hamburg last than having the same 3 teams playing CL every year like England...

[Cris 09]

I'd like to see Dortmund back in there but we'll have to wait a few seasons for that!!
