CL play-off idea snubbed |
The controversial idea of bringing in play-offs for the final Champions League spot was mooted last month, which would have seen the teams finishing from fourth to seventh fighting it out for the final slot in Europe's premier club competition.
The proposal received a mixed reception from Premier League managers, with some for the idea and some against it.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez was very scathing in his assessment of the idea, feeling it would only add to the fixture congestion in the top-flight.
The idea was examined by Premier League chairmen at their meeting in London on Thursday and they have voted against the scheme, meaning the status quo will be maintained.
