Would this make the UEFA Cup more interesting?

>1. No group stages
Let’s not pretend it’s the same as the Champions League. Because it isn’t. So keep the adrenaline levels up by making every round a knockout round. Like the old days (ask your dad)

>2. And while we’re at it: no two-legged ties
Just do it straight knockout with teams drawn either home or away. Split the gates so no-one loses out.

>3. Fair play should not get you a UEFA Cup spot
If fair play’s that important, give the team with the best disciplinary record a Champions League spot. Otherwise, a medal or a cookie will do.

>4. Don’t invite teams that win second rate trophies
Looking at you Carling Cup.

>5. Design a better looking official ball
Come on guys, this looks like something you find in the bargain bin at a second rate sports store.

>6. Reduce Champions League places for big countries
Finishing fourth in the Premier League or Serie A or La Liga shouldn’t get you in the Champions League. Finishing fourth should get you in the UEFA Cup at best.

>7. Stop dumping Champions League losers into the UEFA Cup
Right now, finishing third in the CL Group Stage gets you a free pass to the latter stages of the UEFA Cup. Does anything devalue a competition more than inviting losers from another competition?

>8. The Intertoto Cup must die
If a team doesn’t make the UEFA Cup the first time around, they shouldn’t be able to get in by winning a few pre-season friendlies.

>9. Winner gets a Champions League spot
Let’s face it, that’s where they really wanted to be isn’t it?

>10. Failing that, scrap the UEFA Cup entirely and make the Champions League even bigger
You just know they’ve already thought about doing that.

*to talk into, not to use as a ransom. just so we’re clear.

I need to know where I can watch these. Just tell me which one will be on tv, and the rest streaming from p2p.

fix'd for this years was it's last run. Now an extra UEFA cup place is awarded instead. Group stages I don't mind, but the United/V'real match put the case against them strongly. Single leg games is an awful idea for European football.

Take the "Reduce CL spots for bigger countries" and "Scrap Intertoto Cup" and those 2 alone would fix it. At least the UEFA cup group stage is only 4 games per team not 6.
