Not sure but was there not a thread about us getting into some super rich world club cup if Scotland keeps its coefficient place. If that’s true that would dwarf any money we lose from the sheep getting through.

The WCC is based on our personal coefficient, not Country. That is the one silver lining from last night. We "should" be able to pick up more coefficient point is EL than CL. Obviously best case was 3rd in CL and EL knockout.

Ok. I thought we needed Scotland to keep in top 10 or whatever as well so was thinking we also needed the other lot to get some points

Nah turns out that was a pile of shite.

We aint going to the WCC. The papers ran with some story about how  we would qualify before Fifa actually confirmed how the remaining teams would be picked.

Places will no doubt go to some random world team who just happens to be based in Saudi and definitely dont buy their way in.

Oh well . It was a nice thought for a few minutes 😂
Points principle still stands for future CL places etc though.

The Saudi thing can't happen, 12 of the places have already been allocated to Europe. FIFA have made is clear they want a wide scope of countries represented. They don't want the 12 European clubs to be 4 English. 4 Spanish and 4 German for example.  The current view is CL winners over previous 4 years, so that is last 3 plus this year. The other 8 being the best 8 teams based on their coefficient but importantly no country having more than 1 club, unless they have a CL winner. That is how it filters down to us as the final place. 

I will agree that UEFA have said their final process has not been ratified, but if they want to meet FIFA's goal they have very little scope to change. 

It is the same way a FIFA want a wide coverage for the WC hence it is not the best 32 countries that are actually there.

Paid £90 for group stage package at West Ham for a decent band 3 ( out of 6) seat. Probably comparable to that 

Cant see it being that cheap. Was it not about £150 last year for CL. Probably nearer £120. English clubs can afford to price cheaper as they are less reliant on gate receipts due to the massive sky revenues.
