How about this for a simple, but ridiculous, but actually viable idea ...
Assuming Pool wins ... Everton and Liverpool have a play off, Home and Away (or a one-off playoff at Cardiff) to qualify for the qualifying stage.
Hows that for simplicity, great marketing strategy and excellent financial gain!!
Since EUFA will obviously not sanction the match as a Champ's League qualifying match, The FA could call it whatever they want coz they are only interested in qualifying four teams and dont have the balls to push for a fifth (like the Spanish wimps). EUFA wont care coz they only want to see four English teams anyhow.
Let me know what you fellas think before I pick up the phone to Lenhart.
