1) Winner gets Champions League place

The reward of a spot in the Champions League would certainly make all sides give a damn. Yes it would mean UEFA admitting that the Europa League is very much the second tier of European competition but this is not exactly a secret. The amount of interest the competition would receive at every level would be substantial.

All of a sudden the race for 5th, 6th etc… would mean a hell of a lot.

2) Knockout competition all the way

Less is more. What is the point in having a group stage when neither side has heard of the other? Fans of football clubs fork out large sums of money to follow their sides in domestic action and are not prepared to fork out big sums for cup competition round robins that invariably involve two or three totally pointless encounters.

3) Regionalise early rounds

If they are not going to do away with the group format then split teams into regions, at least until the Champions League sides enter the competition. This way you prevent sides sending out weakened elevens to far flung destinations.

4) More exclusive

Alter the ratio of clubs per league. Attempt to scale back on too many entrants from ‘lesser’ nations. Whilst clearly this reduces the ‘European’ equality, it would also improve the quality.

5) Two legged final

Something that set the UEFA Cup aside from the European Cup, was the two legged final system. This gave the final a kind of extra appeal and also helped fans of both sides to fully enjoy the occasion. A far better alternative to having punt ticket allocations for two sides in a far flung venue that then ends up half filled with corporates and ‘neutrals’ who are more interested in the ‘occasion’ than the two clubs doing battle.

Watch UEFA Europa League Online

Celtic and FC Sion will have their Europa League futures decided by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on November 24.

The dispute between the Swiss club and UEFA has been raging since September 2, when the governing body threw out Sion from the competition for fielding and ineligible player against Celtic.

The Scottish giants were installed in the group stage in their place but Sion have refused to take the punishment.

UEFA have since rejected numerous attempts by the club to regain their place via the Swiss civil court in the Canton of Vaud, insisting the CAS is the only authority with jurisdiction over the matter.

The hearing date is subject to all parties’ availability.

A statement on UEFA’s website read: “UEFA has constantly insisted on the need for a rapid decision on the merits of the case and has therefore already confirmed its availability, in an effort to respect all of the dates proposed by the CAS.”

A number of possible solutions have been drawn up with one possibility of Sion joining the group and all the teams play each other once.

But with the late CAS date, the vast majority of Celtic’s group will be completed by then, leaving the whole situation in a mess.

Watch UEFA Europa League Online

ITV is the new lead UK broadaster of the Europa League after agreeing a three-year deal with UEFA.

It will mark the end of Channel 5′s association with the tournament, who had owned the rights since 2008.

The deal struck by ITV is to air the first, and second, pick games for the 2012/13 to 2014/15 seasons, with ESPN picking up the rights to the remainder of the matches.

ITV will show most of the matches on ITV4 and ITV.com, although if UK teams make it to the quarter finals and beyond some matches will be aired on ITV1.

The broadcaster, which will also air a highlights show, has a longstanding relationship with UEFA including the rights to Champion’s League football until 2015.

ESPN will show at least one live Europa League match each match week as well as a highlights package.

10. Tottenham Hotspur 2-4 Feyenoord (agg): 1974, final

Having won the first UEFA Cup in 1972, Tottenham were back two years later to emulate their feat.

But the Dutch were always going to be a handful and so it proved.

Mike England (the only Welshman on the pitch) gave Spurs the lead at White Hart Lane before Willem van Hanegem drew the visitors level at half-time.

A Joop van Daele own goal restored Tottenham hopes but a late Theo de Jong equaliser meant the English side headed to Holland with the tie poised at 2-2.

Wim Rijsbergen and Peter Ressel secure the win for the Dutchmen and meant the UEFA Cup would leave English shores for the very first time.
