English football Query (Regarding European Qualification)
What would happen in the following instance:
Lets imagine the following in the 1/4 Finals..... Sunderland bt Sheff Utd Arsenal bt Pompey Man Utd bt Fulham Millwall bt Tranmere The FA Cup sends one team into the UEFA Cup. Arsenal and ManU have already qualified for European competition. That means either Sunderland or Millwall would compete in the UEFA Cup. Is that right? |

Depends on the final, I think... If Man U get drawn against Arsenal and Arsenal go to the final against say, Sunderland and win, I think Sunderland will go into Europe. (Otherwise I don't know)

I'd laugh my ass off if we indirectly qualified for Europe.

I think (I don't know for sure) that the passing on of the UEFA spot only happens if the winner is already involved in europe next season and the loser isn't. If it was a Man U - Arsenal final then the spot would either go to a league spot (probably 6th) or be forfeit.
If Sunderland get to the final and lose against Man U or Arsenal then yeah they'll go into the UEFA next season...same thing happened to Southampton last season. |

Its either the runner up in the final, or if both teams in the final have qualified, then the next highest placed team in the league. Hence why Southampton went into the UEFA cup this year. |

I think MMM was right about the qualifying ruling,but how did Man City qualify for Europe? was that on fair play or something?

Ok, I have a query on this. A couple of seasons ago when Liverpool beat Birmingham in the League Cup Final, even though Liverpool ahd already qualified for Europe, Blues didn't get to go into Europe.
Is this because they were a Nationwide side? |

If it's an Arsenal vs. Man United final then the semi finalists will have to play off against each other for the UEFA spot. The UEFA cup has to have an entry from the FA Cup and it clearly won't be Arsenal or Man U.

If it helps, the only reason I know this is because it used to always happen to me in Championship Manager in the Scottish league back in the day and I emailed the UEFA because I wanted to know if that actually happened. |

It's bollocks how many ways you can get into Europe now
![]() It's better with more teams in it, but the Champions League isn't really a Champions League when it has all the 2nd/3rd/4th placed teams in it ![]() |

I think that the winner of the LDV Vans trophy should definately qualify for the UEFA Cup.
