Probably not as their season won't start in early July.
PL season starts 8th August.
The PL 4th place team goes straight to the CL play-off round and the dates are 18th/19th August and 25th/26th August.
Where it might screw them over is if potential signings won't join unless the CL can be guaranteed. They won't know if they're in the group stages until less than a week before the transfer window closes.
If they have to sell before they buy then they might have to play 2 or 3 PL games, and possibly the play-off games with a weaker squad than they'd like.[/quote
yeah but a week of watching mad panic buying at vastly inflated prices for more mediocre players will be piss funny......
