Whilst it might be unfair id love us to get given it not that it will happen and how did that rumor even start?

Some ESPN journo deciding that the highest ranked side out of Europe should/would get the place and that possibly being Liverpool.

The likelihood is that it will go to another Turkish side but that's complicated; 2nd place side also accused of match-fixing (and already knocked out of the qualifiers yesterday) and 3rd place side in the middle of a Europa League play-off game.

Give it to the top placed Greek side. That should be suitable punishment.

Let Fulham in

Trabzonspor have replaced them.

Trollol.

Only right for another Turkish team to get it, wouldnt make sense to award it to another country

Mr Williams · 25 Aug 2011 at 15:21

So what happens if they're to found innocent?

sammo62 · 25 Aug 2011 at 15:35

And what happens if Trabzonspor are also found guilty?

Gilly · 25 Aug 2011 at 15:55

Do they throw all turk teams out if it is found to be the turk fa?

BaZ87 · 25 Aug 2011 at 16:16

Have the Turkish FA been accused of anything?

It would be funny if Fenerbahce are cleared and Trabzonspor are found guilty.

I think everyone will agree we would've finished in the top 4 had it not been for Hodgson last season so this is probably a consolation prize from UEFA

Don't think it would hurt to have an apology from FIFA while we're at it.

And Roy's parents.

Actually I think the fairest conclusion from the stats is that if WBA had Hodgson all season they'd have nailed top 4 so maybe they should have got it

If someone does get a wildcard, stick a tenner on them to win the CL.....

Remember Denmark in the Euro Championships!
