It looks like the challenger leagues have been completely screwed over. Only 5 places available for all of the non shareholder leagues, and no more than one place per league. That means if we win the continental cup, but not the league, either us, the league winners, or both, would miss out. It sounds like the process of allocating the places will be fairly opaque too.
I guess the likes of the Swedes are stuck of games where they struggle to draw fans. Stuff like this leaves a bad taste in the mouth though - just like when the devils were denied a place because they didn't like our rink, and so they could allocate it to Manchester because they were playing in the MEN arena.
