Revamping the European competition

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.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

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
