I've never really bothered with this Champs League business so don't know the set up.
If we lose the qualifier do we drop into the Europa or go out altogether as I seem to recall some Scottish team did fairly recently.
If you fail to qualify you'll go down to the Europa.
If you qualify you'll be last seed in a pool. The Pools are mini leagues, each team plays the others home and away for points. First and second in the pools progress to the round of sixteen, however its much easier if you finish first in your pool because the knockout rounds are seeded by first vs second.
Then luck really comes into it because you could draw some insane team like Barcelona in your first knockout or get Schalke.
