That does seem to be the case but does anyone, like I, think he could make a good alternative striker playing in a 4-4-2 (in other words playing up front with an on form striker).
As I understand it, I don't think that's right. In the case of Real Zaragoza it was the Spanish FA (no doubt heavily leaned on by UEFA) that decided the matter.
Can you post a link as I can't find the one I was after?
Now that does not seem quite right, poor Everton fans what a dagger through the heart that would be.
No it isn't right, I'm currently trying to find the link that I read it on.
The official line is that if Liverpool win they won't qualify again as winners unless they finish in the top four as there's no rule to say that the winners automatically qualify UEFA seem to be very keen that the maximum from every country is four teams.
However I seem to recall that in Spain there was a season that the Spanish FA opted to demote Real Zaragoza (I think?) to the UEFA cup despite finishing 4th so that Real Madrid (the CL winners but finished outside the top four) could defend their title.
I didn't think that the home FA's had this power but apparently so. Well anything to get Real in I reckon
