Liverpool may have returned to the bosom of UEFA and the European Clubs Association, but their part, along with the other 11 'founding clubs' in the failed European Super League plot continues to have ramifications.While only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus remain stuck on the idea of the ESL, Liverpool and the rest have been trying to get back onside with European football's governing body after the complete rejection of the ESL idea from fans and the wider football community when they were revealed back in April.Part of the motivation for clubs to enter into the ESL plot was that they felt Champions League reforms did not go far enough, despite a number of changes being introduced that would benefit the clubs, including more games that would drive more revenue and potential prize money as well as the introduction of 'safety net' qualification places for the biggest leagues.According to a report in The Times, the safety net places could be scrapped having been included in the Champions League reforms to kick in from 2024.READ MORE: Xherdan Shaqiri exit, Nat Phillips interest and Liverpool transfer state of playUnder the initial plans, two spots in the Champions League would be awarded to teams that missed out through the regular season but who had the best performance historically in European competition.Had this rule been in place last season then Tottenham Hotspur would have qualified for the Champions League despite finishing seventh, behind Leicester City and West Ham United.UEFA are keen not to give more leeway to the clubs who sought to breakaway and have aimed to strengthen their resolve when it comes to making changes to European football's top competition, no doubt feeling emboldened by football's rejection of the plans when they were made public back in April.READ MORE: Liverpool forced into temporary Anfield change due to Premier League rulingLiverpool qualified for the Champions League this season by virtue of finishing third last season, but the situation at the turn of the year looked bleak and the Reds, hobbled by a defensive injury crisis, had looked in danger of missing out on not just the Champions League but European football altogether.Missing out on Champions League football can have a major impact on finances, with the competition worth at least £50m to the Reds and upwards of £100m if they have a deep run. When they won it in 2019 they made £113m from their endeavours.While the intention is to qualify for the competition through the top four each season, having a safety net through their long and illustrious European history would have been reassuring for Reds owners Fenway Sports Group.Sign up to our free LFC newsletterGet all the latest Liverpool breaking news, team news, transfer rumours, injury updates plus analysis of what's next for the Reds.You'll also get the latest transfer talk and analysis straight to your inbox every day with our FREE email newsletter.Sign up here - it only takes a few seconds!But, keen not to be bowing to the wants of the dozen clubs that plotted to start the ESL, UEFA are now ready to reassert their control.The Times report states that 'UEFA's Executive Committee, who sign off on changes, is due to meet next month and could make a final decision then.
