    The FA Cup winners to the CL?

    FA Cup winners will qualify for the Champions League under new proposals to be considered by Uefa. (Guardian)
    Just believe and you never know what will happen.

    According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

    That would make things very interesting!!! Good Idea imo.

      I've been saying that to friends for years, put some magic back into the best domestic cup competition in the world. Although i think it shouldn't be straight into the group stages, should mean they enter the qualifiers. Would massively help bridge the gap between the top 4 and the rest if another team could get some CL money by winning the FA cup

        Win 6 games and get CL football? Hardly fair.

          They should never have done away with the Cup Winners Cup.

            It would certainly add value to the FA Cup.

            I think it would further devalue the CL though TBH. In the past few years Southampton, Millwall and West Ham have been on the final. With a freak result you could end up with one of those in the CL, at the expense of one of the top league sides.

            I think it's a non starter.
            What have I learned, Mr Mackay? Three things. One - bide your time. Two - keep your nose clean. And three - don't let the *******s grind you down

              Couldn't agree more.

              I can't think when a team outside of the big 4 last won it either - so would this mean we'd be seeing teams like Millwall in the Champions League

                Teams in the CL should be there through merit and graft. Winning 6 games instead of showing your metal over the course of a season is a bit much. Ive no objection on seeing Millwall in the CL so long as they get there by the normal route.

                  The last time one of the current top 4 didn't win the cup was Everton back in 1995

                    That says it all really. Everton in the Champions League. Comical.

                        CL place for the FA Cup would kill off a lot of league competition. Why would teams bother trying to get near the top when they can go **** or bust for 5/6 games and get themsleves in to the CL.

                          If a championship side gets to the final but lose and the winners are already qualified for the Champ League through the League, would the losers in the final get their place in the champs league??

                            Yep. Thus getting pounded in the qualifier and lowering our leagues standing in Europe and if it carried on would see us loosing European places.

                              Shocking, they would want to fast track goal line technology rather then this stupid kind of ****
