Treat it as an evolution, yeah?

From the Fairs to the UEFA to the Europa League. Or don't.
Ajax didn't win the Fairs Cup anyway, but it evolved into the UEFA cup, so treat it as the same, despite being started by some Swiss dude and not UEFA. I know what you're saying, but just because UEFA are t**ts, doesn't mean that we have to kowtow to their t**ttery.
