Just off the mid-week fixtures, I was thinking of possible changes needed to be made to both the CL and the UEFA Cup a bit more interesting. The CL group fixtures are a big problem, while the UEFA Cup is too long , and even detrimental to a lot of sides, which is why Villa and Spurs even went as far as to throw their games. How can this be changed ? This is my two pennies' worth : CL : Reduce the number of teams , from 4 in England to maybe two, similarly for the Spanish and the Italian leagues. Change the group stages to two-legged play-offs, with fewer rounds. UEFA Cup : Reduce the length of the competition. Don't send the drop-outs of the CL into the competition, really degrades it. What do you folks think ? |

I think the CL is fine as it is, I don't want to see any change. The UEFA Cup's format could do with changing though, how I'm not so sure. Cya later. |

No away goals means more extra-time and as a result, more knackered teams playing for penalties. Away goals rule is essential IMO. I'd like to see more knockout rounds in the CL, that's all really. Knockout >>> Groups |
