TheBrownBottle Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Tbf, we were the first team to finish 2nd and qualify without winning it. And the first to finish 4th and qualify without winning it. Could be a hat trick … … yeah, unlikely. Never know though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 We would still need to finish 4th to qualify for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I’m just amazed that Holland have the second highest coefficient this year. Fat chance of that ever happening again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 29 minutes ago, Nobody said: We would still need to finish 4th to qualify for it. Is it not now basically top 5 qualifies? England and Holland have highest coefficient record so each league gets an extra place. Why would we still need to finish 4th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 If it's 5 teams from the premier league, it seems fairly ridiculous that a quarter of our teams will be playing in the 'champions' league. Then you add on the other competitions, and European games will be even more commonplace. I'm just a stick in the mud, though, as I still think 4 teams in the CL is too many. I also believe footballs should be made out of leather and there should be a cup of tea and an orange at half time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Can someone explain how this is like the ESL? The co-efficient thing is bullshit and ESL-like, but I'm struggling to see how it's the same overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I know it would never happen (especially with the ESL, etc), but I'd love a play between 4th-7th for the last CL spot. It would certainly keep things more competitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Sounds like perfect timing to me . Maybe 2025/26 would be a bit realistic, but it would be nice to have half realistic hopes of a top 5 finish, or at least be in contention somewhat, the season after next.

Paullow Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 10 minutes ago, Nobody said: Fuck that. You shouldn't be able to get CL after finishing fucking 7th. You could say the same with promotion and League 2. You could get promotion by finishing 7th, and the playoffs are pretty much universally seen as positive, both in terms of providing end of season excitement, but more importantly to keep the league competitive for as long as possible. I'm sure they have European playoffs in overseas domestic leagues, well at least they did on CM / FM anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 The previous idea was the 2 teams with the best coefficient that didn't qualify would get a spot? So in that sense this is a massive improvement but still mad that a quarter of a league will be in the Champions League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 13 minutes ago, The Prophet said: It's just another meaningless position, like 4th. 4th only means anything because it's currently a designated CL qualification spot. I don't think 4th should get CL neither tbh. Top 3 I can go with, as we've been rewarding top 3 with medals in sports for ages. As for the Football league argument, I don't think it's quite the same to get promoted as it is to get to play in the most prestigious tournament on the continent. Plus league 2 consist of more teams, so it's not like the team finishing in the bottom two thirds of the league can get promoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
