Arsenal and Manchester United supporters' groups have accused their own clubs of being involved in a "blatant power grab" over plans to reform the Champions League. "Your plans to restructure the Champions League by increasing the number of games, introducing qualification based on past achievements and monopolising commercial rights present a serious threat to the entire game." Only approval from that committee will enable UEFA's ultimate ruling body, the executive committee, to rubber-stamp the new Champions League format on Monday. The fans' letter, signed by the Arsenal Supporters' Trust, the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association and the Manchester United Supporters' Trust, warned that clubs were not listening to what fans truly wanted.
