joeyt Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Might have been mentioned in another thread: Next weekend Hull host Arsenal. Now if Arsenal don't win, it'll be not only a severe blow to Arsenal not making the Champions League but also Hull getting to play in Europe. Will Hull not still her the Europa spot if Arsenal finish 5th. Being as how that's the Europa Spot anyway. If Arsenal finish 5th and win the FA Cup it goes to 7th place iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arsenal finish 5th and win the FA Cup it goes to 7th place iirc so if arsenal finish 4th and win the cup, does that extra place go to hull? or to 7th? also what does it take for man u to finish 7th and not make europa?

joeyt Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 If Hull win the cup, they're in Europe and 7th don't get Europe If Arsenal come 4th and win the Cup, Hull get into Europe If Arsenal come 5th and win the Cup it goes to the 7th Thats my understanding anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Pretty sure I read somewhere that UEFA is forcing to change domestic cups in order to avoid this kind of issue; the losing finalist would never play in the EL from now on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I'm all for the cup finalist getting into Europe personally, even if it wouldn't benefit NUFC. I'd have Hull getting into Europe in all of the scenarios above, reward them for getting to a final rather than whoever finishes in a nothing position like 7th.

loki679 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 It's about priorities of the european places IIRC. All qualification spots are not equal and the FA cup winners EL spot is higher rated than the league spots so if Arsenal win the cup and finish 5th they'll take the higher rated EL spot (the cup spot). The rating of the european spot you take determines which qualifying round you enter the competition at, e.g. the top rated CL spot is for finishing champions and gets you straight to the group stages whereas the lowest rated spot is 4th place and gets you trips to Azerbaijan in June. If they gave the 2nd placed CL spot in the league to the FA cup winners then if someone finished 3rd in the league and won the cup then the league would get an extra place as the cup winners would take the higher rated CL spot (meaning no qualifying rounds) whereas if the league champions won the cup then the losing cup finalists would get the spot as the champions would take the higher rated league spot leaving a spot still available in the cup competition. Or I might have just made that up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27062091 Cardiff's 3-0 defeat by Crystal Palace in early April should not be allowed to stand, the Welsh club has said in a five-page letter seen by the BBC. The document, sent by club lawyers to the Premier League, alleges Palace boss Tony Pulis knew sporting director Iain Moody was trying to obtain Cardiff's starting line-up before the game. The club claims it has proof Moody succeeded and says this breaches league rules. Pulis declined to comment when contacted by the BBC, although Palace previously denied the claims. Cardiff states that clubs should act in good faith to one another and calls into serious question the integrity of the match. The club says Crystal Palace cheated and wants the Premier League to take serious action. Palace won 3-2 at Everton on Wednesday to climb to 11th in the table, on 40 points, a figure Pulis says is enough to ensure their Premier League survival.

Jack Flash Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 “There is too much information going out of this training ground to the opposition and I am not going to have it any more.” “I don’t think I should be boarding up the training ground around my main pitch, which I have had to do.” “People are coming and looking through the fence and putting my team on the internet and giving it to the press. Therefore, what I have stopped is the real fans coming to get a view of us.” “That how I have to be, I am afraid.” “We need to give ourselves the maximum chance of winning our first away game.” “I apologize to the fans if they are not getting the information before the game.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27062091 Deeply embarrassing stuff.
