If you don't want non-EPL sides in Europe, then don't give out European slots to Cup winners (best finishers). That's the simple solution (one I don't agree with.)
Except then, there is the danger of relegating the importance of said cup.

As we now have the prospect of Millwall in europe, I wouldn't of minding taking the humiliation of relegating the importance of the F.A.Cup, it would be far better than what the reputation of English Football is going to go through after Millwall have been in Europe.

I don't know about that. If they behave (which is unlikely, but possible), then it could prove to be one of the most entertaining, and shortest, runs in the UEFA Cup we have seen for a long time!

UEFA mandated a place for Cup winners when the European Cup Winners Cup was scrapped, so it's beyond the control of the FA.
