So, the EPL now has a guaranteed 5 spots for the Champions Leagie next season, which could even rise to 6 spots. What an absolute farce. Football has lost its mind for £££££. |  | | |  |

In our collective lifetimes, we'll see the day when 16th in the Championship gets you into something European. Admitedly it might just be the Eurovision, but it'll definitely be a European competition of some sort. |  |

Been there. Done that:

When we won the League Cup in 67 we were denied entry to Europe because we were a third tier team.
When Swindon won the LC as a third tier team in 69 they were given a two-leg match against Copa Italia winners Roma as a consolation. Out of this grew the Anglo-Italian Cup which didn't last long but was revived in the early nineties for second tier teams:
"The competition was re-established in 1992–93 as a replacement for the Full Members Cup.[2][5] It was a professional tournament for teams competing in the second tier of football—the newly renamed First Division in England and Serie B in Italy.[26]
The new version of the tournament began with preliminary rounds – 24 English teams competed in 8 groups of three teams. Each team played the others once, and the eight group winners progressed to the main competition.
The main competition consisted of two groups, each with four English, and four Italian teams. Each team would play four group games – against every team in its group from the other nation. Then, the top team in each group from each nation competed in semi-finals: an all-English semi-final, and an all-Italian semi-final.[27] The final was a single match played at Wembley.
In the 1992–93 tournament, Derby County lost the final 3–1 to Cremonese.[28] Brescia won the final in 1994 against Notts County, but Notts County reached the final again in 1995 and defeated Ascoli 2–1.[5] The last instalment of the competition was held in 1995–96, and Genoa triumphed 5–2 over Port Vale in the final on 17 March 1996.[29] The competition was abandoned in 1996 because the two leagues could not agree on dates for fixtures,["
How long before some bright spark at the EFL suggests reviving a tournament? Perhaps as a consolation for teams that don't make the playoffs. |  | | |
