As a result of the decision taken by UEFA, the EPFL believes that UEFA has breached the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organisations.

In the event that the EPFL were to terminate the MoU as a result of such breach, this would give all European Leagues total freedom to schedule their matches as they see fit ­– including on the same days and at the same kick-off times as UEFA Club Competitions.

Finally, the EPFL calls on the new UEFA President, to be elected next week, to reconsider the reform relating to UEFA Club Competitions. The European Leagues stand ready to meet the new UEFA President to discuss these matters.

Only thing I can think of is the guaranteed fourth spot for England in the group stage.

That passed, right? Or is that still being contemplated?

Yes, I couldn't remember the exact details. All I could remember off of the top of my head was that the 4th spot in England would be guaranteed group stage entry and that Portugal was going to lose a group stage position.

Also deal with how money is distributed.

So leagues playing matches the same time as the Champions League will hurt the champions league revenue and ratings.
