So actually Man Utd could finish 20th in league, win the FA cup and therefore be in the championship and and the CL group stages for the following season. Yeah I said that in the ‘CL New Qualification Rules’ thread. The tweet didn’t say it though, they seem to be inferring that Man U could get in whatever to get replies, that they didn’t even have to qualify for Europe (a click bait type tweet). Your position above is correct, as bizarre as that seems (as long as they are the highest coefficient of the non-automatically qualifying teams ie if it was between them and Munich having bad seasons relying on this slot then Munich I assume have a higher coefficient so Man U would miss out. Generally though Man U would have higher coefficient than almost all other teams in this position). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto the 8 qualifiers question that's just been raised there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Sick of hearing the word pyramid, it just makes me think ponzi scheme, dodgy rich people at the top and the poor at the bottom, designed to be that way forever with no chance of it being levelled up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 anyway, so when does the next iteration of the ESL start? I assume they'll give it at least 12 months before coming out with a new watertight version? One that does have promotion and relegation to it, but still where the 'founders' get virtually all the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I can't **** BELIEVE these Glazier words removed managed to write this: "We continue to believe that European football needs to become more sustainable throughout the pyramid for the long-term. However, we fully accept that the Super League was not the right way to go about it." What planet do they live on? The pyramid needs to become more sustainable? Bellends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, but if you abolished relegation in the English game every club could plan accordingly and everything would magically be more sustainable. It would be utter shit but that doesn’t matter. The important thing is that the financial future of Manchester United is secured. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this plan is brought to the table at some point, if it hasn’t already.

I make it that 8 would be possible if no restrictions, in the unlikely scenario that CL and EL winners both finish outside top 4 and the two wild cards come from the same nation, plus the top 4. Almost certainly not that many. Currently there is a maximum of 5 teams from the PL allowed in the CL per season, so if the CL and EL winners are both English teams finishing outside the top 4 then the 4th placed team in the PL actually goes into the EL. This would probably still apply, taking your max of 8 for the new CL down to 7, and the wildcards might have to come from different countries too (though I'm just guessing here, they haven't elaborated on that yet), taking it down to a max of 6 and 1 more than is currently allowed, which seems more reasonable.
