Only if we qualified by winning it, then we would play in the champions league due to the Liverpool rule. Imagine if we were relegated and still took their place in the champions league based on the rule explicitly brought in to facilitate their participation when they failed to qualify on league placing.Am I right in thinking that if City were proven guilty and relegated say at the end of the season, we'd still be able to play in the champions league? Imagine winning the FA Vase and Champions league in the same season.
