As for the Euros, the European wide tournament was a daft idea to begin with, but it is looking unworkable at the moment.
The League Cup should have become a real football league cup when the premier league began, i.e. the bottom three divisions. They were too scared of not having man utd, arsenal, etc but it would have given many clubs the chance to win something half decent instead of every year it being the same handful of clubs who get the trophies.
