However, Dr Joseph Mifsud, who has been on the committee since 1994, is a dissenting voice and is unequivocal in his belief the current regulations should be adhered to, which would result in the exclusion of the newly-crowned champions.

A UEFA executive committee member believes it is too late to change the rules to accommodate holders Liverpool into next season's Champions League.
Dr Joseph Mifsud, who has been on the committee since 1994, is a dissenting voice and is unequivocal in his belief the current regulations should be adhered to, which would result in the exclusion of the newly-crowned champions.
'If the rules permit it it is ok, if the rules do not permit it, no.
'I believe that while the English FA can do something in this regard, I believe as the rules stand at present at UEFA we cannot do anything - unless of course the regulations are changed.

'As far as I can see it is too late.'
Now who the hell is this Dr Joseph Mifsud? Obviously he is not doing any good for the game. And I reckon he should be kick out from the committee. What he has said, showed us how much of passion he has for football.
The bloody CL season haven't even started, what does he mean by "too late" ? Rules are dead but not the ones that govern them. The Champion of Europe cannot defend its title? That is the most ridicules thing i have heard of ! Sometimes these people should just use their brain to think before they say something like this.
