UEFA doesn't allow it. owning 2 clubs in the champions league is different than city group owning a midtable spanish club who won't play in the champions league. qatar can't control 2 champions league clubs.
So what happens if the Spanish club gets fourth?
QuincyAbeyie They'll cross that bridge when it comes to it. Girona are lucky to be in La Liga.
Personally think they would be forced to divest and be happy to do it.
It obviously has a creeping effect on competition—the equivalent in league standings terms of a forward interfering play while returning from an offside position—but point is it's not the same as Liverpool, United and Spurs having owners who are all cousins, and I personally don't believe we have to fear that.
If I am not wrong the rule is they can't own a majority stake in another European Club? Does CFG completely own a La Liga Club?
Rohit 47% of Girona in La Liga, but 100% of Troyes in Ligue 1, I think.
Ridiculous. They can't all play in the CL unless ownership is relinquished, technically. Red Bull got away with it, though.

I would have liked us to buy this guy - just for the 80's music puns it would have inspired. Hopefully he has a brother. They would be known as the Wild Boys.
Good news.
We were linked to him a week or so ago, think he would have been a great option for us.
Would have been a great peak Wenger signing.
Great player but wrong side of 30 for us.
Ben Jacobs (bullshitter more often than not) says that Brighton value Caicedo at 75m and that Chelsea are interested.
QuincyAbeyie Hope we can get one over them, 75m is a great price for Caicedo
Is there anyone Chelsea is not interested in? At some point Brighton need to just say no.
RowJimmy Should say no to the club that's paying the amounts no other clubs want to pay, because they're Chelsea? 😆
Should say no because their goal is to compete and right now they are outperforming Chelsea, they need to keep their players.
Madueke to Chelsea, here we go.
QuincyAbeyie you on that G89 copy paste talks now?
QuincyAbeyie Madueke to Chelsea, here we go.
Another one to the career graveyard
Auba, Pulisic, Felix, Mudryk, Sterling, Mount, Broja, Ziyech, Nkunku, Madueke, Gallagher, Fofana, Havertz, Chukwuemeka
Some sensible squad buiding right there
Pepe LeFrits there will probably be some deals to be had there over the next 18 months or so tbh. A lot of them are pretty young as well. Only a matter of time before they start kicking up a fuss.
Also my thoughts are with Omari Hutchinson at this difficult time
Pepe LeFrits RIP
