Jack Rudd Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's a new thing; the rules of the Europa League now state that to get in via a domestic cup, you have to win it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Shanahan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Has been for a few seasons. England used be the only country that gave the UEFA Cup spot to the cup runners up, if winners qualified through the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Shanahan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Oh yeah it was lovely, but then Milwall came along and killed it. The FA don't like lower league teams playing in Europe, they took the UEFA cup spot of the Useless cup the year Oxford Utd won it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxford's League Cup win was during the Heysel-induced 5 year ban on English clubs playing in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
