Interpolic Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Christ, just read IP's post above. Is my whole above post rendered absolute, complete bullshit? Nah, I just meant that UEFA said you've got 4 spots to use as you wish and they'd not be giving additional ones going forward. Cool It was the way you said begrudgingly let Liverpool in. I thought that Uefa begrudgingly let Everton and FA begrudingly let Liverpool in a sense. They both had different feelings on who should get priority iirc. Yeah, the way I recall it is that the papers and the FA were pretty much campaigning for Liverpool to be allowed to defend their title, so it was implied that Everton would get the spot otherwise. Was a bit of a daft situation and you can bet your bottom dollar that it would happen all over again in the same circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 MKSC's attempts to bring order have gone well. Hey, I was just putting the facts out there, as I saw them. Somebody else put it up here as some sort of definitive guide to European qualification. I did however completely overlook the possibility of Arsenal or Chelsea winning the CL and finishing outside the top 4, I guess I didn't see it as a possibility.

It was a useful post, just enjoyed everyone still not knowing what was going on. It's one of those things I'll still not register in my mind despite reading about it numerous times.

wormy Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Right. So we just need to add the Fair Play League situation, and once the 'outside top 4 wins CL' situation happens again, we can truly complete this sticky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 UEFA didn't have a rule regarding teams being able to defend their title even if they didn't qualify through the league when Liverpool won it. They changed it after so now if a team wins the CL but doesn't qualify they will get the right to defend their title but it would count towards the total number of CL spots their nations FA have at disposal. No idea if it's already been mentioned in the discussion, didn't bother reading all the posts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey_C_73 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Quick question....do you want to see Newcastle qualify for Europe this season? I don't think our squad is big enough for Europe at the moment and it could have a negative effect on our league performances (see Stoke and Fulham this season), plus there isn't enough money in the Europa cup to allow us to build our squad up. I guess it would make us slightly more attractive to prospective players when trying to make signings in the summer though. I do miss the European mid-week matches, but I don't think we are ready for it for another season or two! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 i'd fucking love europe. i dont think its possible that we will be in a position to qualify for it consistently every year, given all the shit in the IP that complicates qualification. so we should just take the chance when it comes. also makes it far more likely our players to stay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 So now we need 2 of Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal to contest the final. What a horrific thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 So now we need 2 of Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal to contest the final. What a horrific thought And Liverpool also need to win the Carling Cup, a truly disgusting set of circumstances. I'd almost rather we didn't qualify. Almost.
