So looking like a decent season for Arsenal if they can add the cup to it. Big game for Spurs on Sunday to seal a place in the europa league. If they lose Man U could pip them to it. Is it true if you win the europa league next season you are in the champions league the following season?

It is true. Not much fear of Spurs winning it though.

What happens if by some chance due to FFP reasons, Man City get barred from competing in next season's CL, would the next team in the list (Everton) get in to the CL?

Man City will appeal and get off or a reduced fine. Most likely announced in the middle of the world cup. Not sure about Everton getting in to be honest if it came to it but you would imagine they would.

That's a good question by Geysir.

If City don't accept UEFA's offer tomorrow it'll go to CAS I think because that's (a) the prescribed route to take and (b) the norm in these situations anyway. As far as I can see, the rules are quite clear and CAS would more than likely uphold UEFA's sanction.

Yes, but would Everton get the CL spot? ..... which was the good question :)

I know, I said that was a good question! I have no idea, but don't Everton have an appeal option whereby they can query the any settlement?

Wenger threw in his thoughts this in this morning's Irish Times saying City should not be allowed in the CL, end of. No to the grey areas.

If Everton have an appeal option then that implies they are an interested party in the outcome and would take the 4th CL (play off) place, if Man City drop out.
That would mean Arsenal are also an interested party in the outcome.

Probably the EPL would not lose a CL spot, in the event of an expulsion.

Good point geysir, as it would mean the Arse wouldn't have to play a nasty CL qualifier (x2) as part of pre-season...

That means Stutts is an interested party ......... a stakeholder ..almost.
