[edit] Keep?

Gurron (talk) 21:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC) I think it should be completed and kept. It has been added a lot of things that the old page didn´t have (name of countries, leagues)

[edit] Allocations

Where's the Scottish entrants? Abaca2 (talk) 21:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

What about the League Cup winners in England and France? Do they no longer qualify for the UEFA Cup? -- Grant.Alpaugh 22:22, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
I've been wondering the exact same thing. There's no mention of them in the official UEFA documentation about the rule changes, yet BBC has no given even a word of mention to it either - and the BBC certainly would mention if the League Cup had lost its UEFA Cup slot, surely?

Yeah, no information. So we presume that England and France League Cup winners will get a third qualifying round ticket, and Scottish League Cup winner got empty-handed. Raymond "Giggs" Ko 11:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giggs for Temporary (talkcontribs)
In the case of the Scots, I actually think their League Cup winner gets the 4th League slot place, a la the French and English League Cup winners. Check out this link, and remember that all decisions on format apply for three seasons (they assess the competition and make changes in three year blocks) so that doesn't just apply for 08-09 but 10-11 too. I can only assume the confusion comes because UEFA assigns all countries a Cup winner slot and X amount of league places, and even if it (UEFA) gets to ratify all their decisions on who to give the UEFA Cup slots to, "secondary tournaments" such as the League Cups officially take up a league slot rather than a cup slot.
