Premier League UCL spaces?

[Lo Amo Speroni]

If some or all of the English teams fail to get through to the knockout stages, does it have an effect on how many places the premier league have next season?

England has such a big lead that it would need to have 5 of the 7 teams (from both CL and EL) miss the knockout stages for 2 or 3 years before it even got close to losing a 4th spot.

Also, next seasons CL spots we're set after last season.

Note: Top 3 get 4CL spots. As you can see, Italy is a long ways away.

Highly doubt it because we generally do well as a country so one bad year won't lose us a place because we'd still be better overall than other countries performances, and it wouldn't affect this season's places anyway.

As we're going to finish in the Top 3 anyway wouldn't you rather there were just 3 CL places :wink:

With a bit of luck, we may even finish second.
