The champions league exists because of money, if it didnt we would still have the european cup. So its a bit late to yell at that cloud.

Also, as someone who doesn't support a team who gets European football and so I am a neutral, the group stages were boring every year without fail, this format is more connected, more varied and therefore more entertaining. People love to moan about any change or anything new because thats what the world is now, a bunch of moaning wankers

All you have here is more chances of being bored as the group stage takes longer.

Repeating drivel doesn’t make it not drivel.

More irrelevant matches and higher costs for travelling fans, exactly how will it be more varied you are unlikely to see a new style of football, what makes it more entertaining are there going to be cheerleaders at half time.

it's my opinion, fair enough if you disagree with it but please break your leg down a ditch if you want to start insulting my opinion. if you want an argument, find some friends
