You havn't got to win it. If the Champion is already in Europe, the place goes to the highest placed Premiership team not in Europe. So WE have to win it :ayatollah:

Well......


The top four teams in the league qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
The fifth placed team qualifies for the UEFA Europa League. The winners of the FA Cup and the Carling Cup also qualify for the Europa League.
If the winner of either cup gains European qualification through their league place, the runner-up of that cup competition will then qualify for the Europa League.
If both the cup winner and the runner-up are already qualified through their league positions, the sixth place team will qualify (and seventh if this occurs in both cups).
Additionally, if any qualified team does not have the required UEFA licence, the sixth place (and seventh if necessary) team will qualify.
A further place in the UEFA Europa League is also available via the UEFA Fair Play competition.
If England has one of the three highest Fair Play rankings in Europe, the highest ranked team in the Premier League Fair Play standings, which has not already qualified for Europe, will automatically be entered for the UEFA Europa League first qualifying round.

I thought we had to win it but it appears that the info on the premier league site states otherwise.

It may be an error but we need to find out for sure --Wikpedia says we have to win it.

Might be worth posting n and enquiring on the birmingham website MB as they were in the same situation last year before the final v Arsenal.

The rules may have changed.

In previous season runners up do not qualify for europe, things might have changed but I rememebr this happening. By the way unlike the FA cup runners up actually get prize money - 50k. Winners only get 100k mind.
