So that's the end of your North Sea League idea then. If you're going to divide Europa into 8 regions then obviously your proposed form of the North Sea league region wouldn't make sense. England would join with Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Holland probably with Belgium and France, or Belgium and Germany, or something like that. The Scandinavian countries also as one region. And all those 8 regions would have the same ammount of promotion spots? Some regions will be alot less competitive than others.
A promotion relegation system without team limits would ruin the Champions League, England would dominate it even more. This is even a more unlikely concept than your previous one. And in the CL's current set up 36 teams play the group stages. In your setup 53 league champions would be in the Champions League + the teams that promote from the regional leagues(16, 24, more?). Teams playing against the champions of Albania, Malta, Azerbaijan, Moldova, Andorra, Cyprus, even Macedonia! That's really going to improve the prestige, commericality and popularity of the CL. Some CL groups would be more like the Europa League is now. But I do like the idea of being able to win a Champions League spot, like make the best 4 of the Europa League qualify for the CL. That would make many teams take the Europa League more serious.
