They already have! If an English team wins the europa and finishes outside the top 4, England would have 5 teams. Although, if Arsenal won the champions league and Spurs won the Europa, with them both finishing outside the top 4, the 4th placed team would then miss out. So rags could finish 4th and the north Londoners could finish 6th and 7th and they would both then qualify ahead of the rags!
My head hurts! I think the scenario (arse winning CL) is too far fetched, but my paper this morning said if Man Utd finish 4th and say Spurs win the Europa but finish 5th then it would only be the top 3 (plus spurs) is that not correct.
Your situation reminds me of 2005 - when Liverpool won the CL, but had a bad time in the league, did Everton lose out that year? the holders have to be back the following year, that is key.
Please tell me that if it finishes:
City...
Chelsea...
Arsenal...
Utd.....
But then Spurs win the Europa, MUFC are stuffed - I would love it, if that happened
