I actually posted this on the 12th when the BBC released the info, but no one else seemed that interested. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=621386 I happen to like the idea. The top 3 teams automatically qualify while the 4th team has to play in. I think it's better for England to have the 3rd place team to get the auto bid. Pretty soon we're going to need a separate thread for all Platini and Blatter's crazy ideas.
How would Arsenal's high UEFA coefficient come into play, assuming we had to "play in" to the group stages again.
sounds like the 4th place team from England will have to play a team from a "big" league and not a minnow. if I'm reading it correctly. Sounds like the "big" countries will have to play each other in qualifiers while the minnows play each other in qualifiers.
