Liverpool Prevented From Defending Champions League

[Woozie]

Uefa have insisted that they have no plans to change the rules which prevent Liverpool defending the Champions League.

The Reds claimed the trophy after a penalty shoot-out win over Milan on Wednesday night, but as they didn’t finish in the top four in the Premiership, they do not have an automatic right to re-enter the competition next season.

"The rules are what they are," Uefa spokesman William Gaillard told Radio Five Live. "They were used already once when Real Madrid won...and actually were not among the qualifiers in the Spanish league.

"The Spanish FA told us they would replace the fourth-placed team - Real Zaragoza - with Real Madrid. It is a tough decision to make but it is not for us to make, it is for the FA and they told us Everton would be the fourth English club.

"Rules are rules and they were passed for a very good reason."



If Everton are replaced by Liverpool as the 4th english team there will be a riot

i think that if they are defending they should get an automatic pass
and i also think that everton shouldnt be "gazumped" in any circumstances..



if this has come up in the past with ours or other countries and there is a precedent already.. then it should be stuck to.

Apparently TNS want to have a match up against Liverpool. If Liverpool win they can have TNS spot in the Champions League qualifiers. It makes sense for a small welsh club like TNS. They would get a lot of profit from a game with Liverpool, more so then if they just played against some other shitty European team in the qualifiers and got knocked out straight away.
