Reform European Football!!!

UEFA and national Football Associations bureaucrats are blocking development of football in Europe by blocking all ideas of Regional Football Leagues.
UEFA and national FAs have no idea how to significantly increase quality of football in leagues through Europe. All they know is to spend money on stadiums that stay without audience and build expensive buildings for national FAs.

Most European national footbal leagues have no excuse for their existance. Quality of football is low, attendance is low, interest in public for those leagues is small, interest of sponors is small, club development is halted because of lack of strong competitions.

Leagues of Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Albania, Moldavia, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Czechia, Slovakia, Cyprus, Iceland, Scotland, Ireland, Wales... will never have quality of English Premiership, Spanish Primera, Italian Seria A or German Bundesliga. Not in a million years. Nothing even close.

Portugal, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Romania, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway... have decent leagues, but their quality would also improve a lot if they would unite them with other leagues. In example, Portugal with Spain, Belgium with Holland, Denmark with Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland, Switzerland with Austria, Czechia, Slovenia, Croatia...

What is purpose of two thirds of European football leagues? What are they being played for? For few hundred of fans in each game?

Solution for better quality of European football is network of Regional Football Leagues, that would function like ie Premier League. Each league would have its own league coefficient and representatives in Champions League and UEFA League.

Present day national level leagues and cups would be replaced with National cup, that would determine national champions, runner-ups, third placed...

Winners of national cups if not qualified through Regional Football League (RFL) would have access to CL or UEFAL qualifiers, based on second coefficient table that would rank national FAs.

Instead of 53 leagues of which 45 boring and pointless, Europe should have 12-14 much stronger RFLs.

Why UEFA and national FAs are against regional leagues? Scandinavian Royal League for example? Why denying winners of RFLs access to UEFA competitions? There is no good explanation! Maybe reason is smaller market for western european leagues and larger interest of Central, North, South and East Europeans in their own leagues and clubs instead in Man Utd, Real, Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern... ? And national FAs would have less power and money, and clubs would have more?

UEFA and national FAs - stop blocking development of European football!
