Those rules were made in the past and I believe soon they won't be valid anymore as changes come. In my own opinion, all clubs should be eligible to participate in the Champions League whether are bonded to another club through ownership.

Football is one of the lucrative business in the world right now so if a capitalist has a enough money to buy two or more club, then all the two clubs will play the leagues but remember the players are not the same they are different players from different backgrounds so even the two clubs are paired to play a game, they will play and one must win.

I seriously don't understand how you guys can rush aside this situation so easily, especially considering the place we're discussing this, here on a crypto forum that promotes decentralization, and you see no problem with someone acquiring and gaining more influence in a field.
Ok, two teams might not be a problem, what happens if there are 6 or 7, doesn't this trigger the same situation we have in mining where pools just grow bigger and bigger and have a larger share of it till they reach alarming levels where they can control a lot of things? It's the same with those clubs, once somebody wons a lot of them the implication will be disastrous because it's not just the game
- the guy will own television rights for half of the matches he could easily arrange who will get the rights
- with so many teams he can decide the advertisements if he doesn't like one spons that one suddenly loses half of the market
- imagine you are a player and you get into conflict with a club suddenly you have twenty clubs where you're not wanted anymore

Forget about rigged games, the $ implications if this grows out of control are huge!
