"Union Cup" seems like a pretty poor name for the only competition involving clubs outside the 'union'.


My plan is to reassign Champions League spots from the Welsh, Scottish and NI premier to the English leagues. It doesn't seem fair that tiny TNS get a Champions League spot whilst two of the big six miss out each season. Instead, the smaller countries could receive additional Europa Conference spaces.


Those nations only get those spots because they have their own leagues. It's why Wales had to create a national league in the 90s, because African nations threatened to boycott international competitions if the British 'nations' continued to get representation in UEFA and FIFA while African countries did not.

By removing those leagues, you are justified to just switch off their European qualification. I don't think you can then justify allocating them to English clubs who haven't done anything to earn it though.

1000 is a wild overestimate. This is an injury-prone player getting one last chance, not the star player of the league. The only players receiving 1000 a week are ones that would be in England otherwise. Overestimates like this are game-ending when finances are so low.
