CSKA is out of next season's Uefa Champions League and there is nothing that the club can do about it. By now, much of the world has heard about CSKA's worries, since even CNN has done a story about it, I understand. Naturally, as a CSKA fan, I am disappointed that the club's incompetent management (who somehow thought that it could get away with not paying its debts or taxes), has become the reason CSKA will miss the most prestigious football club tournament in the world.

But let's be honest. Although CSKA won the title in Bulgaria this year without losing a single game, the team is far from being a magnificent force in Europe.

One or two games and then the Uefa Cup. This has been the strategy for CSKA in the past 15 years.

This is why, besides the money, there is hardly a fan in Bulgaria who will suffer deeply from the fact that CSKA will miss the champions league. I am one of the non-sufferers.

On the other hand, CSKA still faces the possibility of being sent to Bulgaria's third amateur division next season for the same reason that the club was shamefully kicked out of Uefa's Champions League. Although this scenario seems very unlikely because of the public interest in CSKA's faith (even the prime minister took a stand by sending his boys from State Agency for National Security to sort things out with CSKA's finances), it is worth thinking on such a possible development.

If CSKA is being sent to the third amateur division, then the holder of the record of the 31 championship titles that Bulgaria has won in the past 60 years will have to play against the teams of Keramik (Elin Pelin Train Station), Granit (village of Shiroki Dol), Spartak (Samokov), Roma Sport (Ihtiman), Benkovski (Kostenets Train Station), Levski 2007 (Dolna Banya), Spartak (Pirdop), Zvezdets (Gorna Malina) and Muti Vir (Ihtiman).

In a way, this will be good for those football clubs because they will get to play in Sofia. So in this respect, CSKA will perform a socially responsible role by bringing village clubs to the capital. When otherwise, if not now, would they have the chance to travel to CSKA's stadium?

For CSKA, this will mean less travel expenses, with all of the above-mentioned teams being within a radius of 70km. No more flying to Varna and Bourgas, guys.

Staying home is not a bad thing after all. Games in Bulgaria's third amateur league are not played that often and CSKA players together with the management can install a couple of big TV screens at the stadium and watch how arch rivals Levski are doing in the champions league after taking their place in the tournament. If they don't fancy that idea, Ihtiman has a nice golf course.

As for CSKA fans, the third division will actually surprise them with its charm and beauty. I attended a game from this division two years ago. It is an experience worth having. There is beer and kebabcheta all over the place. Chalga music serves as the background through the entire game, usually performed live by the local Roma band hired by the hosts to scare the visitors. One never goes alone to such a game because, inevitably, there comes a moment when passions go high into the air, together with all kinds of objects thrown at the referees and the visiting team.

Some of the best well-spoken Bulgarian can be heard in its glorious magnificence at these games, which, I have to say, is not limited to only the third division, but the local flavour is charming.

So things at the end do not look that bad for CSKA. The team will certainly lose millions of euro in missed revenues and its pride will suffer a bit, but in terms of emotions, next season promises to be more than great.
