Lens want Palermo’s CL place (2 Viewers)

[Byrone]

French side Lens have entered the Calciopoli debate, claiming that they should be awarded one of Italy’s four Champions League spots.

“As it stands Italy will send the seventh, eighth or even ninth-placed side into the Champions League," said club President Gervais Martel.

"The tenth, eleventh and twelfth sides will go into the UEFA Cup. In our League fifth place doesn’t even get into the UEFA Cup.”

Lens finished fourth last season and have secured a spot in the UEFA Cup, but the Stade Felix Bollaert outfit now believe that they could claim the greater prize of a place in Europe’s showpiece event.

While the rules state that the places vacated by Juventus and Milan must be filled by teams from the same nation, the French side hope that the size of the Calciopoli scandal will cause UEFA to make an exception.

Currently Inter, Roma, Chievo and Palermo will take part in the Champions League and Livorno, Parma and Empoli – pending a licence – will enter the UEFA Cup.

If Lens do claim Italy’s fourth Champions League place, Palermo will be the side to miss out.

They are insane!

 

[Akerman]

Lens are still a worse team.

 

[Geof]

This is getting more ridiculous everyday. I don't care who participates in the CL anymore.

 

[Slagathor]

This makes me respect Ajax, who made a statement they won't be pursuing the CL title they lost to Juventus saying they don't see why they should.

Lens are vultures.

 

[Oggy]

Hahahahahhahaha, I can't believe !!! Human and especially Lens stupidity never ends !!!

 

[Sadomin]

Actually, their argument is flawed. Juventus, Milan, Viola and Lazio all had points subtracted from last years table, which elevates teams like Palermo and Chievo to third and fourth, and Inter as first (though this may not be equal to winning the Scudetto).

Were there suggestions that they should challenge that?

 

[Maresca]

I hope that italian sides will suck in europe, and then all the country will know how important juve is for italy

Strong suggestions. Their lawyers reportedly even sent them a letter asking if they were planning on challenging it so they could prepare the proper procedures.

Lens also wants Maseratis and hookers for all their front office staff, but they ain't getting it.

So go to hell, Lens.

 

[Eddy]
