    What do the numbers relate to, is it the expected CL revenue for each team, or something elese completely?

    This for me too, in terms of the sheer experience of playing big teams again. Although if we want to have a better chance of progressing, then maybe more like:

    Feyenoord
    Leipzig / Porto
    Crvena Zvezda / Rangers

    Its the seeding, based on cumulative performance over the last 10years, which affects how much of the Group Participation Pool money you will get. looking at ours we will probably have to pay them.

    While it would be nice to have some really top ties going out at the Group stage will not be worth much so:

    Feyenoord
    Borussia Dortmund
    Rangers

    Pot 1 is probably irrelevant as they're all good teams, obviously some are nicer than others "Feyenord/Benfica" but overall good teams.

    Pot 2 is the probable clincher. If we get drawn against Leipzig/Porto then we're in with a shout. If we get one of the other 4 alongside one of excellent teams from group 1 then we're in for a rough ride.

    Pot 3 is mostly ok.

    I see us getting Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and AC Milan in our group.

    Lost an International Club fencing comp final to a team from Leipzig a good few year's ago, so beating them out of pot 2 would be nice (not that I'm holding a grudge or anything like that .... <whistle>)

    It's highly unlikely they'll get lucky in the draw so who cares really they'll be getting at least 2 massive clubs basically.

    Good so we'll be out in the first round? LOL.

    I'd like -

    Rangers
    Porto
    PSG.

    A winnable group. PSG will allow us to see big stars play but also they can be unpredictable and vulnerable and they have Messi leaving.

    I do but the reality is our squad is painfully thin for that level. I don't want to see is get destroyed in the first round.

    If it helps, we won’t. Plus this thread is about who we want us to see and not a dream round where we potentially could progress through

    What do the numbers represent? It can't be to do with how good the teams are cos Rangers have over twice as much as us, lol.
