The top four clubs from the four top-ranked national associations will now qualify automatically for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. - That's 16 places automatically taken up, plus more from other countries, meaning less space for clubs from the qualifying rounds
The full details of the access list for both competitions will be finalised by the end of the year.
A new system for the club coefficients: clubs will be judged on their own records (deletion of the country share for individual club coefficient unless that coefficient is lower than 20% of the association's coefficient). - This will negatively affect clubs from countries with 'powerful' leagues.
Historical success in the competition will also be acknowledged in coefficient calculation (points for previous European titles with a weighted system for UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League titles) - This is to provide protection for the old school. Interesting that Cup Winners' Cup isn't included in this system.
A new four-pillar financial distribution system (starting fee, performance in the competition, individual club coefficient and market pool) will see sporting performances better rewarded, while market pool share will decrease. - Clubs with higher coefficients will receive more money

100% of last season,
80% of season before,
60% of season before that,
40% of season before that, and
20% of season before that.
