Yep - Liverpool simply have to make a proposition to Uefa to give them special dispensation.

Uefa had asked the English FA to make a decision about the 4 entries they wanted to enter the Champions League next year and the FA said the top 4 in the Premiership - rightly so.

So the FA have made their decision (in all probability) and it means its now up to Liverpool to request a place from Uefa.

I can't really see how this would work, but there must be an opportunity for this.

I think a similar thing happened a few years back to Juventus??? who hadn't qualified for the next year, but had won the CL, but the Spanish FA made a decision to only allow 3 automatic entries from their league and let the defending champions play. A bit harsh on the 4th place boys, but this was a country's FA decision not an UEFA decision.

But sod it, now we've got the cup home - we're nicking it and not giving it back!!!! (that, and we are allowed to keep it!!!)
