BCFC Rich Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Does anyone know how this works now? Top four in prem qualify. If Utd. Win uefa they qualify, if in another world Leicester won the champions league they would qualify. In that scenario would England have 6 teams in the competition? Or do we lose some of the qualifying league positions? Hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Think they lose some top four places if that scenario happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 3 with united and Leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 As far as I'm aware, maximum number of teams from any one country is 4, except where a European competition is won by a team finishing outside of the top 4, in which case it's 5. In the example you suggested, 4th place would miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarksRobin Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 They should really rename the competition. "champions plus best losers league" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miah Dennehy Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think they should rename it the European Cup and only let league winners (and current holders) enter. Then just play games on a knock out basis over two legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be pretty good in some ways. Would help to rebalance slowly European football a bit too- wouldn't just have big nations dominating so much either. Teams like Monaco, Dortmund, Ajax would keep their players and grow (I know the first two are from top 5 in Europe Leagues but even they are distorted- everyone is- by about 10 clubs at most in Europe).

BCFC Rich Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Thanks everyone. I've just seen that we could in theory end up with a premier league play off to sort out euro qualification! Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if they see which clubs "win" something that could qualify them, then decide if they are the sort of clubs that they want at their top table, then tinker with the rules accordingly..!
