This is exactly what the TV companies want. Imagine a 20 team European Super League...
Real Madrid
Man United
Chelsea
AC Milan
Barcelona
Bayern Munich
Lyon
Athletico Madrid
Juventus
Inter Milan
Napoli
Man City
Althletico Bilbao
Lazio
Ajax
Tottenham
Borussia Dortmund
PSG
Valencia
Liverpool
That is just some of the teams potentially playing. Europes Elite all playing in a league together, the best players in one league together and the ££££££ would be to much to refuse.

If the top 6 were going to qualify for the Champions League they could coast the rest of the season, because they aren't going to finish outside the top 6 even if they fade a bit.
Won't it also ruin the FA Cup? Because if the top 6 in the league are going to qualify for the Champions League, doesn't that mean that the FA Cup winners won't get into Europe now?
The same applies to the League Cup of course, which if offering no European place to the winners might get pensioned off completely.

then call it the champions league losers cup only fit for man city, manure. to me having clubs that qualify for the knock out stages and group stages of the champions league makes the europa league uninteresting

It doesn't matter now does it, if the Europa League is going to be scrapped.

this is one of the worst ideas i've ever heard. the league comes first. competing against and triumphing (hopefully!) over the people you see and live with (meaning country). i can't seriously see our clubs walking away. it simply wouldn't be allowed to happen!
the UEFA Cup (like the League Cup) gets a bad rap. what pisses me off is when a club fights to get in it, then plays weakened teams in every match. a trophy is a trophy and worth more than playing six games in the Champions League

I see the European Super League plan has been criticised by a few people recently, including Borussia Dortmund Chief Executive Hans-Joachim Watzke who has come out and attacked the idea of abolishing the Europa League and increasing the Champions League to 64 teams, saying "It is complete nonsense. Why should a premium product such as the Champions League be artificially watered down? I have liked almost everything that Platini has done so far, but now he is completely on the wrong path. The Europa League has generally been accepted by the fans. We received 13 million euros from taking part one and a half years ago. That is a significant quantity of money. Of course, the financial difference between the Champions League and Europa League is very big, but could be reduced by solidarity contributions from the Champions League to the Europa League."

It looks like the Europa League is going to be kept after all, with UEFA giving serious consideration to giving the 2 finalists automatic entry to the Champions League the following season. So instead of being merged with the Champions League, the Europa League would now carry the added incentive of having Champions League places available and that might give it the added attraction that it needs to survive.

The incentive is a good idea but can you imagine the outcry when 2 English teams reach the final therefore depriving the 3rd and 4th in the Premier League from entering the Champions League, unless they change the rules of course.

Personally I think if they just increased the prize money in the europa league or Just let the winners into the champions league next season it would make teams take it more seriously, I really like the europa league though, there has been some great games over the last few seasons, people say it's full of weak teams ect but look what happened when United were played off the pitch twice by bilbao for example or Man City getting beat at home by Sporting. This season there have been some better teams in the Europa than in the Champions League.
