Not only did a combination of last-minute goals by Maurice Edu and Aiden McGeady (of Moscow) last season help return us a 2nd CL slot but they've now heavily helped our smaller clubs in EL.

UEFA has confirmed the changes to starting rounds in the Access List for next season to accomodate the Cup Winners of the top 6 nations... next season FA Cup, Copa de Espana, Deutsche Pokal, Coppa Italia, Coupe de France, Taca Portuguese... getting direct group-stage entry.

We keep 1 QR4, 1 QR3, 1 QR2... one place lower, it'd have been 1 QR3, 2 QR2.

The only one of those countries which actually entered their Cup Winners into the Europa League this season was Germany (Schalke). The winners from every other country reached the Champions League.

It might not have been the worst thing if a couple of our teams had winnable early matches rather than entering a later round unseeded,
