How to Re-vamp The European Football Cup Competitions

I think that the Champions League and UEFA Cups are starting to become ridiculous.  Why can a team that gets knocked-out of one, be pushed into the other?

Surely a better way to do this is to have a single competition that all clubs could potentially win.  Clubs who finish lower down the ranking order would start early in the season (as they do now), and as the competition progresses, clubs who are ranked higher would join later in the competition.  This would lead to the occasional wonder story of a minnow getting to the latter stages.

Clubs who do well should qualify for the next season - for example the club from each country who gets furthest would qualify for the following season, regardless of how well they do in their domestic competition.
