I don't get it, if a team outside of the top 4 wins the CL they get a spot, but if a team inside the top 4 wins the CL they get a spot for winning it and a spot for finishing in the top 4?
It doesn't add up, where does the missing spot go if the rags or Arse win the CL?
England gets 4 spots in the CL. Normally those 4 spots are allotted to the teams who place 1-4 that in the league the previous season. However if an English team wins the CL, then that team that won the CL is guaranteed one of the 4 CL spots allotted to England.
So if someone in England wins the CL, you can just take them out of the season table entirely, and pick the top 3 from the rest of the league. Coz then, England would have 3 spots plus an automatic spot for the CL winner. However if a team from another country wins the CL, then England just has its 4 regular spots.
Hmm!m! Looks like I just made it more confusing... Well, I;ll get my coat..:)
