UEFA Cup v European Cup (CL) Which is more impressive to win?

[agricola]

The UEFA cup is now the new Cupwinners Cup.

Its not. Its the "Didnt finish in the Champions League places, or Finished third in a Champions League Group, or are Cup-Winners Cup". If anything, if a European competition should have been got rid of, it should have been the UEFA Cup.

That happened in 2005 with Everton, so they changed the rules to allow Liverpool in (the same Liverpool who haven't won the league since 1990).

It happened earlier in Spain, albeit they didnt react in the way that the FA did (for once getting a decision right) - Zaragoza were bounced out of the Champions League in favour of Real Madrid.
