Is this true?
Under the new system, proposed by Edwin Van Der Sar, clubs who finish outside the national league qualification (top 4) but have the highest co-efficient will take one of two wild card places in the Champions league. I think that's the jist anyway.

It is part of the Champions League expansion, there is the possibility of the League Cup being scrapped as a result.
