Last season Harry Redknapp said he didnt want to field a competitive team in the Europa League as he wanted Tottenham to focus on getting back into the Champions League, in some sections of the media it was said Harry publicly devalued the trophy.AVB has stated this week he wants to win the competition with Spurs this season and still values it Justin Morneau Jersey as a credible trophy. With recent winners such as Atletico Madrid, Zenit and Porto it is clearly taken seriously in some quarters but you feel the bigger clubs see it as a hindrance.This seasons Europa League sees the likes of Inter Milan, Liverpool, Spurs, Anzhi, Lyon and Atletico Madrid in the mix the quality in the competition isnt in question but how many will still be taking it seriously when the season reaches its climax next year and they C. J. Cron Jersey have bigger or maybe even more important fish to fry.It seems since the re-branding and the Thursday night Channel 5 launch the old UEFA cup has lost its appeal, undoubtedly people would rather play in the Champions League as it is the worlds premier footballing trophy and worth millions but does that mean that the Europa League has no place in European club competition?.This rather strange move of clubs knocked out of the Champions League dropping in has only served to devalue the competition even more as smaller clubs know once these better teams drop in they have very little chance of progre sing. UEFA need to have a rethink about what the Europa League actually is and where it sits in their priorities.I feel it needs to: Michael Pineda Jersey Sever all ties with the Champions League drop outs this degrades the tournament. Re-brand with a new name that means something as the Europa is the footballing equivalent of blue Anibal Sanchez Jersey cro s or value brand now. Potentially go to a straight knock out competition so that we cut the wheat from the chaff quicker, yes the groups mean more revenue but this needs to be a one leg, knock out tie tournament to keep the excitement. Most importantly the winner should get a spot in the following seasons Champions League first round proper as an incentive for the competitors to play their best sides and try to win it.UEFA need to review this and quick because with every season that this carries on this once great club competition is devalued further Jake Odorizzi Jersey and further..how long before this is the capital one cup of Europe where no one cares about their results within it until after Xmas.Im sure Liverpool, Newcastle and Tottenham would like to win it but you cant help but think other priorities will come into play depending in how their seasons are going.The UEFA cup was once a credible competition that big clubs took seriously and wanted to win, it feels a bit like now its the Champions Leagues annoying little brother.
