That would be very unfortunate for the other leagues. Exceptions need to be made for the teams who have underachieved terribly that season or something. Don't let teams like Valencia or Lazio compete.. Valencia because they have got great players, and Lazio because.. well.. they're just terrible.

I was thinking about this the other day. I can picture it now. All the mid table teams scoring own goals of desperation to somehow forge there way into the competition. This is so funny.

Spain
Recreativo, Osasuna, Numancia and Malaga

England
Bolton, Reading, West Brom and Stoke City

Italy
Torino, Empoli, Chievo and AlbinoLeffe

France
Toulouse, Lens, Le Havre and Nantes

Recreativo v Nantes Nantes
Bolton v AlbinoLeffe AlbinoLeffe-
Torino v Stoke City Toro
Tolouse v Malaga Toulouse-
Osasuna v Chievo Osasuna-
Reading v Le Havre Reading
Empoli v West Brom West Brom
Lens v Numancia Lens

Nantes v West Brom West Brom
AlbinoLeffe v Lens Lens-
Toro v Reading Toro-
Toulouse v Osasuna Osasuna-

West Brom v Osasuna Osasuna-
Lens v Toro Toro-

Final would be Toro v Osasuna and Osasuna would probably win it all.

-=matches i wouldn’t mind watching specially during the summer when there’s nothing on but transfer market

Imagine if it was Zaragoza instead of Recreativo or PSG for Lens or Reggina/Lazio for Empoli this competition might have a mix of historic teams like PSG, Bolton and Toro, Lazio and some that have been breaking the top side of their leagues in recent years such as Reading, Chievo and Osasuna, and several underachievers like Reggina and in some years we might get to see Portsmouth, Blackburn, Napoli, Genoa, Racing and Getafe

I'd love to see a tournament like this. I'd watch it, though I doubt many others would. I’m with Chris – I think Osasuna would take it. I’d love to see a tournament like this.

Just a 1 match knockout competition during the summer between the top 4 leagues 17th position teams. That would probably end up as Reading vs Osasuna and PSG vs Empoli it the words of puppet jose: Its fantastic. Very nice. Dude, this is awesome.

Right now? Osasuna. I think I'd put more money on Reggina or Livorno than Toro or Empoli, sadly. I like the idea.

Recreativo Huelva and Osasuana from La Liga Empoli and the Toro from Serie A (weren't both potentially aiming uefa cup this season...)

God knows with shear heart of the players, and you factor in the lack of supporters this team has (three supporters on away game?), they deserve a chance in UEFA more than anyone in Serie A. And they'll be in Serie A next fall. If thats the case, we should apply it to Cinderella teams like AlbinoLeffe.
