Re: Champion's League Qualification
Here's my $0.02:

The "big" leagues should only get 3 places, not 4 (I know that we wouldnt have won the European Cup last year if this was the case, just my honest opinion). The extra places should go to:

UEFA Cup Champions: automatic entry to group stages
UEFA Cup RunnersUp: 3rd qualifying round

The last couple of spots to be distributed around to various leagues. Alternatively, give the losing semifinalists in the UEFA Cup entry to the 1st qualifying round.

Plus, the 3rd place team in England should have to playoff with the FA Cup champions to make the qualifying round of the Champions League. Not at the end of the season, but at the begining of the next season (a week before the qualifying round).

This would give the FA and UEFA Cups a huge boost. Plus it would place the emphasis back on actually winning trophies. You know - the reason these clubs are battling it out in the first place? 10 years from now, who gives a damn who got 4th. You will give a damn that you won the FA or UEFA Cup though.
