Shocking making these decisions without all parties concerned
Do UEFA dictate how places are given?
The FA cup runners up are guaranteed a EL place if the winner has qualified for the CL, whereas the Carabao Cup losers are not.
This suggests it’s an FA decision, rather than a UEFA one.
No. UEFA's qualification criteria can be found online and there is no option for any FA to grant one of their places to a domestic cup winner.FA decision with UEFA approval?
They should do what COMNEBOL do, which is give a place in the main continental competition to the domestic cup winner.No. UEFA's qualification criteria can be found online and there is no option for any FA to grant one of their places to a domestic cup winner.
It’s just business. If your non-league club was offered £50m to play a game and withdraw from the FA Cup, they would in a heartbeat.Funny how the usual suspects are happy to play more European games but don’t want to play fa cup games. Greedy cunts and fucking over the pyramid. As someone who is heavily involved at a non league side this kind of greed makes me sick
That’s not exactly the point is it? Why should the prem teams benefit to the detriment of hundreds of football club’s across the country. Let’s face it it’s the “big 6” once again calling the shots (and I include city in this) they don’t give a fuck about the history of the game in this country as was shown a few years ago on this very day.It’s just business.
