davesearle1984 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 OK I finished 6th in the Championship and won the playoffs on pens but I got to the final of the FA Cup as well Unfortunately I was trashed by Arsenal in it 3-0 (could have been double that, I had 1 shot all game they had over 20) but as they won the Prem and therefore are already in the CL through their league pos does that mean the UEFA Cup/Europa League place is mine. I cant remember the exact rules but Im sure it should go to the runners up in the FA Cup if the team that wins are already in Europe, but Im not sure about the rules for the new Europa League, I imagine they should be the same, right?

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I thought I heard that the runners-up will not qualify anymore under the new rules. I could be wrong though. I am not too sure actually. Post back and let us know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I think he's in Europa League jod. I am pretty sure I heard something under the new rules in reality anyway that the runners-up do not qualify in that situation any more and another place goes to the league. They may have only being considering that though so I could be talking rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they do for the UEFA Cup but what about the Europa League which it will be next season? As I said I think one of the rule changes was that this no longer happened.

4457 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Wikipedia: "Historically, if the winners have already qualified for the UEFA Champions League via the Premier League, the UEFA Cup place goes to the FA Cup runners-up. However, FIFA (sic) has changed the requirements for this runners-up rule. Beginning with the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Cup place will be given to the highest finishing Premier League team that has not qualified for European competition if the winner of the FA Cup has already qualified."

Ediocy Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yeah they do for the UEFA Cup but what about the Europa League which it will be next season? As I said I think one of the rule changes was that this no longer happened. jod123 will be right on this issue. The UEFA Cup will be reformated into the UEFA Europa League for season 2009/2010 and beyond. What this means is that qualification rules for the Europa League will be in place in season 2008/2009, i.e. this season in real-life. So the old qualification rules of having the FA Cup losing finalists qualifying for the UEFA Cup if the winning finalists have already qualified for Europe is now obsolete.

As I said I think one of the rule changes was that this no longer happened. Just read up on it and it says that the FA Cup winners will enter the Europa League in the 'Play-off Round' but it doesn't say anything about what happens if the FA Cup winner has already waulified for the Champions League...

jod123 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 4457 explains it with his quote in post #13. Edit: This is a pointless post seeing that you have already read 4457's post.

rancer890 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nice to learn something new everyday. jod is clearly trying to get into the good books of everyone. He's a bit too nice though, there must be deeper, darker secret about him. I think it's for his political campaign to become either a mod of the SI Forums, or the Prime Minister of Ireland. Whichever comes first I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
