I thought about asking this question in the thread about the proposed Super League, but perhaps it would be better as a separate topic. How would you change the Champions League, Europa League and/or domestic leagues and cups to create the best competitive format? You can approach this from either or both of these two perspectives:
1) You're the czar of football and can draw things up on a blank sheet of paper, ignoring the past and creating a brand new future.
2) You're a mediator between UEFA, the domestic leagues and the big clubs and want to create a realistic solution that is potentially workable and palatable for all parties - including the fans.
You don't need to present fully formed solutions - ideas on what you'd want to see in a competition (e.g., promotion/relegation, league vs. playoffs vs. knockout, salary cap, etc.) are fine too.
(I have many thoughts and will post some of them presently.)
