The Fighting Cock
Turn the Europa League into a straight knock from the start. Put it on a decent channel (none of this two bit ITV4, ESPN bullshit), give it a theme tune and change the branding, then no one would be bitching about it.
Part of the issue everyone has with the EL is the way in which its marketed. If someone in Uefa got some balls and put it on alternate weeks to the CL, you would see the media take an interest, the sponsors and then the rest of us would follow.
It remains a prestigious tournament.
Would rather win the EL than get Straw Dogged by Bayern at home. No amount of money in the world is worth a global pillaging.
