    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.

    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!!!!!!!!!

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    In fairness its not Liverpool's fault.
    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 ?
