slight europe chance

EFC NY · May 15, 2012

If you do not gain an automatic cup or europe spot, and if one or more teams below you do, than you can not get into europe at 7th place. The End.

You guys unleashed the beast in Brennan. He's said from day 1 we ain't getting in Europe.

But what if... NO!

Well ... not only would we be in Europe but also Brennan's sig. has to praise Damon for 12 months. If only, if only.Sadly Brennan's safe ..... probably

To my understanding there is no "extra place." Chelsea currently qualify for the Europa League as FA Cup winners and Tottenham get the Champions League for finishing fourth. Newcastle get the only league placing for the Europa League (finishing 5th) If Chelsea win the Champions League they get the Champions League spot and Tottenham then get the league placing in the Europa League instead of Newcastle. Chelsea's spot in the Europa League is then freed up and goes to the next team which is Newcastle.

This is what I thought. Well worded mate.

So IF Chelsea win the CL my 7 clear goals and Spurs drop to a Europa place then Liverpool because they won the League Cup get an extra place and sell it on E-Bay, We could bid on it yer??

The EPL site is a little unclear about whether an extra place is gained or not, I have actually emailed them for clarification, will post the response (if I get one). Until then we should all assume that the English FA gets 7 places total in European competitions, 4 CL, 3 EL.

What if the entire Newcastle side gets caught taking banned substances. Do we make Europe then?

I've just had a look at on Uefa's official site looking for clarification and it appears we have a chance.

If Chelsea beat Bayern by more than two goals our countries Uefa co-efficient is improved by 312 points. This takes us 6000 points above Portugal which means we gain a further Europa League place and they lose one.

So all we need is for Chelski to beat Bayern by two and it's on!!! (y)

Below are the permutations that was updated after the FA Cup final by premiereleague.com
http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/european-qualification-permutations.html

Here are the possible qualification scenarios:
(Key - UCL = UEFA Champions League, BPL = Barclays Premier League)

CHELSEA WIN UCL
Chelsea qualify for the Champions League, with their FA Cup Europa League place going to the highest-placed Barclays Premier League team which has not already qualified for Europe. Liverpool qualify for the Europa League through winning the Carling Cup and the Champions League places will be decided as outlined above.

CHELSEA LOSE UCL FINAL, FINISH IN TOP FOUR IN BPL
Chelsea qualify for the Champions League, with their FA Cup winners' Europa League spot going to the highest-placed Barclays Premier League team which has not qualified for the Champions League. Liverpool qualify for the Europa League courtesy of winning the Carling Cup.

CHELSEA LOSE UCL FINAL, FINISH FIFTH IN BPL
Chelsea qualify for the Europa League with Liverpool (Carling Cup winnners) and the sixth-placed team also entering the Europa League.

CHELSEA LOSE UCL FINAL, FINISH SIXTH IN BPL
Chelsea qualify for the Europa League with Liverpool (Carling Cup winners) and the fifth-placed team also entering the Europa League.

Logically I agree with Brennan91 btw...just its strange that they keep updating their site with that part I highlighted.

FFS!!! There are already several threads on this!! It has already been answered!! WE ARE NOT IN EUROPE NEXT YEAR!! If you wanna know why go and find the threads. And forget the PL, they are clueless, and it's what UEFA says that counts.

I have read those threads and if you read the last statement in my post you will notice that i said I agree with Brennan logically...but that it is strange that they KEEP updating their site with that information. Don't worry...i'm done posting here...
