"With a new format you need a new identity," UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said at the time of the launch back in 2008. "The tournament is supposed to be for winners, not runners-up."

Pity they don't have that attitude to the Champions League!

And that's how he defends the 6th place team in the league qualifying over the FA Cup runners up?!?!

The guys at UEFA and nearly as mental as those at FIFA!
