interesting article from Michael Cox, about Uefa co-efficients,
"This, of course, is the irony of the situation: Premier League clubs need to take the Europa League seriously to help maintain a Champions League slot. If not, then that Champions League place will instead become a Europa League place, and the consequence of ignoring the competition will be having to spend more time participating in it. The Premier League could, frankly, become a victim of its own arrogance."
