    I'm really looking forward to the EPL next season. Man Utd are a strong force as it is, and with Man City's poor performance this season, I can see them spending big. Added to that is the potential return of Mourinho to Chelsea. Should be competitive next season

    Liverpool to knock back Europa league

    Liverpool do not want Europa League place via Uefa Fair Play League
    • Qualification would mean club's season starting on 18 July
    • 'I want to get there through right means' – Brendan Rodgers

    Liverpool do not want a place in Europe next season via the Uefa Fair Play League, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

    The Anfield club have an outside chance of securing Europa League qualification via the fair play route, whereby Uefa offer a place to the top-ranking club in each of Europe's top three fairest leagues. England currently lies fourth behind Finland, Sweden and Norway but Liverpool could be offered a place if the Premier League's position improves over the final weeks of the season.

    The highest-placed teams above Liverpool in the Premier League and its fair play index – Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester United – are all likely to qualify for European competition through their league placings.

    Liverpool's season would start on 18 July if they entered the Europa League at the second qualifying round, and the second leg would clash with the club's lucrative pre-season tour of south-east Asia and Australia.

    "It's highly unlikely we'd get that route as it is for the top three countries and we are fourth, but it is not something I would be keen on," Rodgers said. "I want to get there through the right means, through our performance level, and if we have to have a year where we are not in Europe it is going to give us an opportunity to push on.

    Its probably the right decision for them, they arent good enough to be distracted from the League, they should focus solely on the League next season and play the Reserves in both Cups. They need to get back into the Champions League.

    Bollocks to that , do you really think if this was a route into the champions league they would knock it back ? Uefa should make them play in it or ban them for Europe .

    At no point does it say they're going to knock it back.

    Stop letting your petty, tribal hatred of Liverpool get in the way of the facts. Where does he say he would knock back Europa League qualification?

    He stated he would rather qualify for European football on merit than be ushered in through the frankly ridiculous fair-play system. What's so wrong with that?

    Of course they wouldnt as thats where they want to be, having 10/12 Europa League games would only * up their chances of getting back there.

    Its the same this season Man City were probably glad they got knocked straight out Europe rather than went into the Europa League.

    Are you kidding me? You'd be on about how they didn't deserve to be in Europe if they do play..

    They are(maybe not even! at not point did he say they wouldn't) taking away an opportunity for you to whine and * about scousers so you've gotten all up your own * about this.
