How they fit in an extra team though i'm not sure. Much as i have a rivalry for Everton as a club, they do deserve their place in the competition.
It's no different from the World Cup or European championships in the context that they are automatically allowed in next time round.
Is this the first time that a club winning it has not been in the position to play the season after ? |
Weeksy, no you're wrong. The winners/holders of the world cup do not automatically qualify. They have to go through the heats like everyone else. Only the host nation qualifies - the rules changed some years ago. I think it's the same for the European championships.
