David Moyes rallies against 'Big Six' Champions League priority in new proposals

West Ham United manager David Moyes said he does not agree with proposals that would see only 'Big Six' clubs who win the FA Cup qualify for the Champions League, and that all teams should receive equal opportunities.

The Telegraph reported on Sunday that FA Cup winners could potentially qualify for the Champions League from 2024 under new rules being considered by UEFA, but only if the clubs have a record of success in European competition.

The report said the proposals will see the two extra places in a new 36-team Champions League awarded on the basis of coefficients - the formula UEFA uses to measure historic success in the competition.
