they could do the same with the F.A.Cup and give the winners of that the fourth in the league's place which in turn would breed new life into the grand Old Cup Competition.

I don't agree with that. I'd rather not have Stoke in the Champions League, thanks :P Also, i think the FA Cup still has it's prestige intact without that sort of thing.

1. All be it a longshot, the winner of Europa League gets an automatic Champions League bid.

2. Playing time for our "wealth" of youth to gain experience and new talent joining the club to become more acclimated.

3. One of my football channels televises Europa League games all the time. Since Liverpool is a big name club they showed a majority of LFC's games. That's a number of matches I won't get to see. It may be selfish, but it's true.


Unfortunately the winner does not qualify for the champions league, if that was the case, I think we would be there by now through that route.


I did not know that. I thought I heard the announcer say during the second leg of our elimination that the winner of Europa got a free bid to the Champions League. My bad.

I still want to see more LFC matches. That was the most important point for me. I only get half of the EPL matches here, and some of them are going to be moved to the HD channel this year. Woe is me.
