Introducing B teams obviously. It's clearly the solution to everything.

Increased rewards for doing well in the Europa League I guess? Pretty ****ing horrific from West Ham. Will be furious if they do anything other than roll over for us on Sunday.

Good call, it does make the decision easier now.
In sayig that, I am still holding out some hope that Warner goes from 100 to 220* or so while I'm watching a Spurs 2-1 win.

The obvious thing to do would be to stop giving a place to FA Cup runners-up, Hull stank up the joint last season and Villa are dire too. Bit of a handicap having West Ham qualify for Fair Play, but I don't think they can do anything about that.

Which they've done this season. Villa aren't in Europe; Tottenham, Southampton and Liverpool qualified for the Europa as a result of their league positions.

West Ham got a fair play spot. Clearly the solution is to encourage red cards and foul fan behaviour in European competitions.
(This was also why they started so early)

I don't know how teams can turn their nose up at a competition that comes with a CL place, even if the lure of a European Trophy in itself isn't enough for mighty West Ham in their pursuit of 8th

EDIT - tbf I have no idea how seriously West Ham took it, but Hull last year were a joke.

I imagine a lot of the teams like West Ham probably think, all things considered, that they have a better chance of obtaining a CL spot through finishing 4th than by attempting to win the Europa League. Obvs that's massively unlikely to happen, but I can see the logic (i.e. "It'd be better to have a crack in the league and finish 10th than have a crack at the Europa League and tire out all the players, lose via a dodgy goal in the semi-final, and end up nearly being/being relegated")
