The reason it's devalued is because the Champions League takes the talent. The Europa is made up of middle ranked teams. The Europa League is simply not the cream of the continent. Bolton should be nowhere near European competition.
I would revert to league winners entering the Champions League and the next three the Europa League. This would also add value to winning the Champions League. Whilst winning it is obviously a tremendous achievement part of me cannot help but think that given the big clubs enter it year on year they'll eventually get lucky.
