toonboy Posted 29 April 2005 Posted 29 April 2005 see ur point anish but the rules also state that the holders qualify 100371[/snapback] On the champions league website i can't find anywhere where it says the holders have to be in the competition the next year. 'The UEFA Champions League is open to each national association's domestic champions, as well as clubs who finish just behind them in the domestic championship table. The number of clubs that can be entered by an association and their entry point in the competition depends on the association's position in UEFA's coefficient ranking list.' So the F.A. don't have to choose Liverpool if they win it, but my guess is they would.

The_Foxes_Legend Posted 29 April 2005 Posted 29 April 2005 Hopefully both teams can get in (Everton 4th and Liverpool CL winner) so more chance of an english club winning cl
Knighton Matt Posted 29 April 2005 Posted 29 April 2005 Hopefully both teams can get in (Everton 4th and Liverpool CL winner) so more chance of an english club winning cl 100792[/snapback] but only one of them could get it thats the whole point of this thread!
The_Foxes_Legend Posted 29 April 2005 Posted 29 April 2005 True so I say Everton, They deserves it and Liverpool been too incontisent this season
Knighton Matt Posted 30 April 2005 Posted 30 April 2005 True so I say Everton, They deserves it and Liverpool been too incontisent this season 100867[/snapback] i concur! they've still got to seal that 4th place though!
Sparky Posted 30 April 2005 Posted 30 April 2005 i hope everton get it - it would be good to break the mould
Cobbo Posted 30 April 2005 Posted 30 April 2005 i hope everton get it - it would be good to break the mould 100955[/snapback] Certainly would. Always like to see the lesser fancied teams doing well (unless it's Forest, Derby...etc etc.)
Chimp Posted 30 April 2005 Posted 30 April 2005 see ur point anish but the rules also state that the holders qualify 100371[/snapback] No they don't. The holder's do not automatically qualify. I heard a UEFA spokesperson on the radio stating that it was up to the English FA who they put forward for entry into the Campions League. The four places should go to the top four teams, end of story.
toonboy Posted 1 May 2005 Posted 1 May 2005 From the BBC Sport website: Uefa president Lennart Johansson has said five English teams could compete in next season's Champions League. Johansson told Five Live's Sportsweek programme Liverpool could enter if they win the tournament but finish outside the top four in the Premiership. "If there is a possibility to make an exception for the winner of the Champions League then there could be an additional place," said Johansson. "The door is always open. We are there to serve football, not just dictate." Puts an interesting spin on things. Do you think it wil happen?
