I understand that bit but i'm more of a "too many teams in it". The Champions League is just mental now, i dont know why they bother with the Europa League. Just expand the Champions league and be done with it and have one competition. The fact that teams that finished 3rd in their Champions League groups then drop in the Europa makes it all the more stupid as it goes along. Old school thinking from me, Champions League where a team can finish 4th in their league but be the winners, isn't a Champions League. I'm a fossil tbf mind.

Most of the teams that benefit from the "drop into the EL if you lose in CL quals" are champions or runners-up in small European leagues. I'm one that thinks that 4th placed teams should have no business in the CL, but then there's a larger issue of closing even more the access to the huge revenue than CL brings. UEFA should subsidize the EL with CL revenue, imho, that way it becomes a thriving ground for up and coming clubs, and makes the competition more desirable.

Village Idiot Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Will never happen, CL makes a gazillion money because it guarantees 6 relatively risk-free games of all big European sides during autumn/winter and through group seeding/fixing pretty much guarantees that all those big sides will be in the last stages of the competition in February.
