Anyone else heard rumours of United being considered for a Europa league place if other teams get kicked out of Europe due to FFP rulings?

{Ed004's Note - It's not going to happen}

I would hope not.

Not going to happen unless it's an EPL club. That said I imagine we have the highest coefficient of all of the teams who failed to qualify for Europe by some margin!

{Ed007's Note - You were right with the first part, if it was an EPL club another EPL club get the spot, if it was a Spanish team a Spanish team get the spot and so on...}

Read it on an unofficial United site. The story has since changed to there being places available because Ukrainian teams face being booted out due to domestic troubles, & United & Valencia could go into the Europa league because of it. Not saying its true, just a rumour doing the rounds.

Spain and England do have the highest member coefficients and so I suppose it's possible there's some truth to the rumour. Ukraine get 2 Champions League spots and 4 Europa. My guess would be the champions league spots would go to Spain and England and the 4 Europa to the four next highest ranked leagues (Germany, Italy, Portugal and France). That would put Everton into the Champions League and us into a Europa spot. I doubt there's any truth to this though.

UEFA have now confirmed that Ukrainian teams will be allowed to compete. All the rumours started from a made up story run by a Spanish newspaper.

{Ed002's Note - This must make people more gullible than the Liverpool supporters if they believe this.}
