Not sure how new clubs qualify in this scenario. It's called UEFA co-efficient. It's based on the previous 5 seasons I believe. Countries also generate points which determine qualification places for each league. SUFC would miss out and I'd expect this format to be used. It will ensure the 'big' clubs are in Europe next year. The club coefficient is either the sum of the points earned by the club in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League over the previous five seasons or 20% of the club's association coefficient over the same period, whichever is the higher.[30] Prior to the 2018 club rankings, teams received the sum of their points earned over the last five seasons plus 20% of the club's association coefficient.[31][32] The clubs receive two points for a win, one point for a draw, and no points for a defeat in games of the main stages of the Champions League and the Europa League. Results determined after extra-time are included in this method, however results determined after penalty shoot-outs are not (the result is considered a draw). Bonus points for entering the Europa League group stage are not additional to win/draw points; they provide a minimum points allowance for participating clubs, whereas bonus points for entering the Champions League group stage (and those for qualifying to the knockout stage) are additional to win/draw points. Qualifying round results are only taken into account if the team is eliminated in one of the rounds (see table below). Otherwise, the qualifying round results are taken into account only for the calculation of the association's coefficient and are halved.[31] The clubs do not receive any points for elimination in the Champions League qualifying because those teams move to the Europa League and receive points from participation in that competition.[32] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Neville now suggests they fly all the PL clubs to a Coronavirus free environment to finish the season.. can’t work out if he’s being serious. i think there are 3 Pacific islands that have remained virus free, and I doubt Antarctica has the playing surfaces to accommodate 20 PL clubs... They are so desperately embarrassing. 26,000 dead and all they can think about is the integrity of a football competition.

NorfolkNChance Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It’s a farce tbh. Imagine a big six pointer relegation battle , looking forward to running out in front of your own fans who can help get you over the line and you run out at...... Twickenham or St George’s or as you say some bloody Pacific island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Neville has been one of the most scathing critics of the PL and their handling of this I think there was a healthy dose of sarcasm in what he said - and also outlined the utter impracticality's of restarting this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Healthy sarcasm I agree with , I think he also genuinely doesn’t want Liverpool to get the title , tainted or not. I’d go as far as saying he has a little bit of hatred towards them, certainly looked that way in his playing days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting the Germans, Italians and Spanish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what happens over there in the coming days and weeks particularly with Cologne and how they deal with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how much clout they think they have, or how much money is at stake, they do as the government tells them. So they can't shift before 7th May at the very earliest. It's as silly as UEFA trying to impose rules across the board, when every individual country has different problems with the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
