Eds
Just came across some thing interesting but not 100% on its validity.
If man city manage to win the champions league ( Highly unlikely ) and we beat Dortmund there's a probability that there won't be a 4th champions league spot for a premier league side next season.
Any truth in this or can you shed any light on what I'm saying?
Thanks in advance 😀
Ps
heads up everyone after today just look past it as a lesson learned and not to be repeated, onwards and upwards.
{Ed002's Note - Beating Dortmund does not win the Europa League.}

Don't get this question at all!
4th place will only miss out on a CL place if Man City win the CL and finish outside the top 4.
It's got nothing to do with us and the Europa league.

If (big If) Man city and Liverpool win their europe competitions and are not in the top 4 then the top 3 + Man City + Liverpool will be the only english representation in the Champions league next year - due to a maximum of 5 teams from the same country being allowed in the Champs League.
$th spot drops into europa.
I believe this is what the OP was trying to get accross.
{Ed002's Note - That is not what he said. My answer was correct.}

Ron if city win the champions league and finish outside the top 4 then all the top 4 and city enter next seasons champs league (5 teams allowed)
If we win the Europa and city win the cl and both finish outside the top 4 then whoever finished 4 gets the boot as only 5 teams will be allowed in cl. So we want to win Europa and city win cl and united to finish 4th. That well would be to good haha.

Can I just clarify:
A few years ago 'Arry Redknapps Spurs finished 4th and Chelsea finished 5th but they won the champions league.
Only 4 teams qualified and Spurs missed out.
Regardless of the Europa, if City win the CL and finish out of the top 4, will 4th place still go into the CL?
I thought not but would be interested in opinions, especially Ed002.
{Ed002's Note - Yes, the rules have been changed to allow for that.}

Not suggesting you was incorrect Ed - was just implying what the poster was trying to say not what they did say - enjoy your day :o)
{Ed002's Note - I can only answer the questions put in front of me. If they mean something else or contain secret messages I may well miss them as I simply don't have the time to figure that out.}
