Default Next season: end to emergency loan signings and EUROPA spot for fair play winners

Personally I'm a bit gutted as a footy fan that EUFA are ending the quaint English practice of players going out on emergency loans to other teams ( playing for less than a minimum statuary 6 months ). Iirc a West Ham (could be Spurs) youngster a few years back scored a penality which kept his loan side up from relegation on goal difference. Wow. Emergency loans provide vital playing time to up and coming young players, plunging them into certain stressful situations like relegation fights, play off semis (Harry Kane at Leicester) or tricky FA Cup matches with ultimate little at stake for them to their careers as it's not the parent club. It also provides lower league sides with a bit of quality and unpredictability in that short term that they would otherwise not be able to afford eg a couple of Cheslea youth academy brats could easily walk into faltering Dagenham and Redbridge for 2 or 3 weeks and have kept them up. The parent club can also make stipulations as part of the loan deal eg our player must play X amount of games, our play just take all free kicks/ corners/ penalities/ our player must be made a vice captain etc.

Also nex tseason EUFA will no longer be also rewarding the fair play table winners (this season West Ham) with a Europa league qualifier spot as a prize. It's bad enough that the FA Cup winner or runner up (if winner is already in Europe) no longer gets a EUROPA slot, however taking away a EUROPA qualifier as a prize seems cruel. I used to take an unhealthy interest in the otherwise pointless fair play table, as I knew an important reward was up for grabs: European football, which was often one of the only ways a mid/ lower table or a financially poor club could get into Europe. Instead there will be a cash reward. Money is nice and everything but it's probably less than what a good EUROPA cup run would have generated, plus a good EUROPA cup run could raise profile and awareness of club, attract players. Getting to last seasons Europa cuo final must have done wonders for Dnipro Dnipro's profile. It feels like EUFA want to prevent smaller unglamorous sides from competing in Europe for financial reasons (eg TV revenue, audieny share) and is not in the spirit of football IMHO.

I wish EUFA would stop tinkering with these and let the quaint idiosyncrasies of football .

There is something very spiteful about all this. It's as if UEFA want to kick the ladder away from smaller clubs in terms of progression and keep the status quo.

Competitions do it all of the time as for some reason they don't think that people like the idea of someone or a team coming from the back and then rising to the top, or near the top.
