Europa league - winners to get in champs league

[m3sye]

I missed this ??

So all those wanting to avoid Europa this year surely didn't know either?

5 teams from England could go in .

Makes more sense than qualifying for a "Champions League" from a 4th place finish

That will still happen....

Yeah I knew about it as the question came up last season of whether the rule went into effect last season or this season coming.

About time they did it as it is an incentive for teams now.

Still, it's a lot of games you need to play to win that competition.

This has been known & in place for a good couple of years now.

Surprised you never knew about it tbh.

Well if Liverpool didn't get top 4 i would without doubt want them in the europa

Still holds no interest for me, we've seen that the competition does.adversely affect teams league form with loads of Thursday matches at Siberia FC. So you sacrifice your league form to try and win a cup competition or you focus on getting top 4

If Liverpool had been.in it this season I don't think you would have finished where you did, so it's a proper gamble imo

OT, but it sounded so much better when it was called the Uefa Cup.....

I agree. The name and branding of the Europa League is very cheap and nasty.

Tough to really say that tbh, no way Rodgers would have played his strongest line up till a decent way into the competition (If we made it)

But with other European clubs taking it really quite seriously do you get that choice? I'd never heard of the club that knocked Spurs out for instance

[OllieC]

seeing as we (currently) have 3+1 entry into the champions league, I've recent began to believe the FA cup should get the last spot.

Leicester fan here, no chance of us getting it !

true but you or us could do the same, Dnipro who? Screw it send the kids out, then bang you are out of the comp and if it's already impacted your season and you're in 6/7th is it then too late to get back into the race for 4th.

[Black can man]

Do the champions league drop outs still get entry into this prestigious competition ?

Definitely. I can't see clubs like Newcastle not being bothered about the FA Cup if there was a CL place for the winner. Would revitalise the FA Cup.

If the FA did more to move fixtures when the Europa league gets tasty like they do across Europe then they'd get more attention. They fking jump for TV but that's were the cash is....

I don't think there's much wrong with the FA cup. If Mike Ashley wants to continue to ps off overweight bare chested Geordies by ignoring the FA cup then it gives all other fans the amusing prospect of a giant killing and then watching the same ignorant oafs flaunting their tear stained stretched tattoos in indignation whilst powerless to stop their Spurs supporting chairman ruining their club.

Yep fk all wrong with the FA Cup!
