    They always come out with idea but it never seems to go much further than an idea. I used to create a league on Football Manager called the Atlantic League which was being talked about years ago.

    Yeah, I used to enjoy the late stages of the Champions League but now it's a bore a * watching the same handful of teams in the quarter finals every single year.

    We should be trying to form a European league to replace our domestic one.

    They need to do something as we can't be playing 8 qualifiers per season, we are now essentially being punished so all the "big" countries can get teams straight into the Group Stages.

    We countries with no hope of qualifying should go straight into this so we don't need to play them in early July for no reason. Same reason they dont have us qualifying against Barcelona we should not be qualifying against Linfield and Alashkert.

    The fact that our very ambitious and caring board is pushing for the creation of a competition for teams who failed to enter even the Europa League doesn't surprise me the slightest.

    A complete waste of time.

    As someone else said, this is a glorified Intertoto Cup.

    We should be in the CL full stop.

    The Europa League is bad enough as it is, how do you think another heap of * a level below even that is going to be received?
