Win the league you get in Pot One,it will shake up the seedings and also mean for differing groups.
So what if we get another group of death? It's like that all the time.

Sick of that nonsense. It'd vastly improve the interest in the group stages if they got rid of that rule. However, the whole thing is a money-spinning load of bollocks as we all know, so nowt will change.

Yes, Champions should be seeded, but while coefficients still decide the rest of the line up, countries are kept apart and the TV schedules hold sway, not much will change. It will be the same old faces in pot 1, taking their Champs League money back to their domestic leagues to dominate once again, this qualify once again, and round and round we go. We will be still be flirting around the fringes of pots 2&3. Bayern, Barca, Madrid et al will still be assured a reasonable passage through the groups.
We will continue to struggle until we either shape ourselves and win a group, or put together an excellent performance in the last 16.
Basically, it will be more of the same, otherwise the ex G14 clubs wouldn't have agreed to it.
Tinkering at the edges I'm afraid.

So let's say for argument's sake Munich win it, will this mean that the runners up in Germany will go in as pot 1 or will the winner of the 8th strongest league in Europe be pot 1?

I saw a link yesterday that said league 8 - Holland.

I'm assuming the top six are
Spain
Germany
England
Italy
France
Portugal
