I understand that if we win the Europa league we get a champions league place, would that remove that from the team who finished 4th provided it isn't us?

Just imagine next season.
  1. City (Qualify for CL)
  2. Chelsea (Qualify for CL)
  3. Woolwich (Europa?)
  4. Liverpool (Europa?)
  5. Spurs (Wins the Europa league)
  6. United (Wins the champions league)
 
I think if you win it will be 5 English teams in the Champions League, as I remember that being the headline on either BBC or SkySports. If an english team won the Champions League and did not get into the top 4 I would imagine that the 4th place team would get taken out of the CL qualifying rounds.

so in the scenario Woolwich would qualify and Liverpool would be in the Europa League

As posted in the Europa League appreciation thread...

Q: What are the Champions League rule changes?
A: From 2015-16, the Europa League winners and the Champions League winners will both qualify for the following season's Champions League.

Q: Will the maximum number of clubs from the top nations such as England in the Champions League remain at four clubs?
A: No, there will be a maximum of five clubs but only under special circumstances.

Q: When can a country have five clubs in the Champions League?
A: Only when a club wins the Champions League or Europa League but finishes outside the top four in the domestic league. That happened last season when Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League but took the Champions League spot from Tottenham who finished fourth, because they were European champions.

Q: Will a country be able to have six clubs if both Champions League and Europa League winners come from the same nation and both finish outside of the top four?
A: No - five is the maximum. In that unlikely scenario, the European trophy winners would qualify plus the top three.

Q: If the Champions League or Europa League winners finish inside the top four of their domestic league, will that allow the runners-up to qualify?
A: No, only the winners.

Q: Will the Europa League winners go straight into the group phase of the Champions League?
A: That has still to be confirmed but it appears that will usually be the case.

Q: If the Champions League or Europa League winners also qualify via their domestic league, will that allow the fifth-placed club in the league to take the 'spare' qualification place?
A: No, in that scenario there would still only be four clubs qualifying.

So basically the scenario for Spurs to aim for is finishing 4th and have the place taken away from us by a combination of Champions League and Europa League winners.
