They should just stop fucking about with this Champions league lite thing, straight knock-out comp from the start, The reduced amount of games might get teams interested.
The expansion of the Champions league has done it over too, as has already been said people are worn out.
I don't know where people get the time to watch Premiership, Spain, PSG, Bayern and Dortmund CL league and Europa whilst holding down a job and a social life and feel able to talk about any of those teams with a degree of knowledge or credibility.

All them ideas are terrible
First of all id cut it down to 36 teams and scrap cl drop outs in the knock outs
Then all them Eastern european pub teams that dont qualify for the groups can just play for a new inter toto cup in a knock out format on a thursday
Secondly id move all the games to 6pm kicks offs on tues and weds, could be seen as a warm up for the cl later on at 8pm

There's a natural rhythm to the football week: domestic game on the weekends followed by Champions League on Tuesday and Wednesday. By the time the Europa League rolls around on Thursday, many are worn out. Flipping it around -- Europa League on Tuesdays, Champions League on Wednesday and Thursday -- allows you to build up to the main event. The idea is that hardcore football fans will be psyched to watch Europa League on Tuesdays and while they may still be worn out come Thursday, the prospect of Real Madrid or Arsenal will be enough to overcome their football fatigue, certainly more so than the Europa League.
swear this will put the champions league teams in d same predicament as the europa mandem in regards to rest cycle, breaks between games?
