Ah fcuk that anyway
They should have been put in at the 1st qualifying round
Fantastic news, a chance now for cup number 6. Yes Man Utd fans, that is 6 (six) you are looking at there, for we have 5, yes 5 (five) European Cups won already.....
Nothing has been decided, yet. It looks like it will go in their favour, but nothing truly decided at this moment.

Yeah, I don't know where ITV are getting their information from but every other news channel is awaiting the decision at lunchtime. They seem adament that Liverpool are in in the third round, but nobody else is running this story this morning.
ya i found that strange too they seem think that because lenart johason follows english football especially arsenal that he will push for them to be in it .......we'll have to wait and see
its official now , they will start from the first qualifiying round

Fair enough decision me thinks. It won't affect the players as they are back pre-season June 27 regardless as well if they progress through the rounds their original pre-season games will be cancelled so in effect the pre-qualifying games will be their pre-season games so all in not too bad. Maybe Shels in the first rd!!!!!!!!!
a slovakian team has apparently been taken out , they will miss out on the money and wont even get a uefa cup spot , if this is true its very poor form , also ive heard liverpool are in the first qualifing rounds as lowest ranking english team
Sad thing is Slovakian champions will get have to "pre-qualify" now.
UEFA said no one would be affected by such a decision to include the team that finished 37 points behind Chelsea!
change the record , stop living in the past thats over 3 weeks agoFantastic news, a chance now for cup number 6. Yes Man Utd fans, that is 6 (six) you are looking at there, for we have 5, yes 5 (five) European Cups won already.....
I believe Liverpool miss out on their money spinning tour of Japan now cos of the dates of the Qualifing rounds.
its a first round qual, so they have to play 6 games to get in . starting 12 july .
and yes chelsea ars, utd and everton the team s that properly qualified will loose out on money because of them .
poor form from uefa , i wanted them back in but not at the expense of another team now its costing 5 other teams !!

absolute bloody disgrace. yet again UEFA bow to money
Not true.
The top seeded team (from Romania) is actually bumped up a round, and the same for the top seeded team in QR2 (from Poland), and QR3 (from Turkey, now straight into the group stages)
The whole competition is based on bowing to money, so why change now.
That's assuming they all qualify for the first group stage, as that's the money they're talking about.
With Liverpool having no country protection, don't be surprised to see an all-English, all-merseyside even, third round.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Liverpool will be allowed to defend their Champions League crown next season.
UEFA’s 14-man executive committee today decided to make a special case to allow the Reds into the first qualifying round of the competition next season.
It means Liverpool will have to play six matches in order to qualify for the group phase and it could interfere with their pre-season tour of Japan.
Liverpool, who failed to finish in a qualifying place in the Barclays Premiership, will become the fifth English side in the competition.
UEFA have also taken steps to ensure that the same scenario never occurs again by changing the rules so that in the future the titleholders will always qualify for the competition the following season.
If the Liverpool situation occurs again and the European champions fail to finish in a qualifying place in their domestic competition however they will come in at the expense of the fourth-placed side.
The rules will also apply for countries who only get three or two Champions League spots, but there will be a special exemption in the unlikely event of a country with one Champion League spot winning the competition but failing to win their own domestic league.
From breakingnews.ie
"I don’t want to tempt fate, but Thierry Henry is not having one of his best nights." - RTE co-commentator Jim Beglin, minutes before TH struck the stunning winner.
Some minnows are in for a dream draw with them going in on the 1st qualifier

But the other English teams if all qualify will get less of the "pot" because of Liverpool.

In fairness its not Liverpool's fault.absolute bloody disgrace. yet again UEFA bow to money
Public opinion and the hierarchy across Europe WANTED them back in.
Its a democracy and the silly rule has now been changed so it will NEVER happen again. If a team wins it, it will be at the expense of the fourth placed team (if a country has four places).
I do think its the right decision.
If it was a silly rule why didn't they change it back when R.Madrid won it but finished outside the auto qualifing stage ?
