exactly dude!
in a way it's been monopolised like the CL, IE the group stages make it less likely that a smaller club will progress further as they don't get the leveller of playing wholly knockout games, thus ensuring the usual suspects are gauranteed a certain ammount of cash, even if they play mince in their group matches.
