What are you talking about?? automatic what? surely you don't think the EL winners are given an automatic place in next years CL, its never been the case.
UEFA Europa League

There are three places in the UEFA Europa League available: the FA Cup winners will enter at the Group Stage; the fifth place team in the Barclays Premier League will enter at the Play-Off stage; and the Football League Cup winners will enter at the Q3 stage.

In the event the FA Cup winners are qualified for the UEFA Champions League the FA Cup runners-up will qualify, but in the place reserved for the lowest ranking Barclays Premier League representative. The place with direct access to the Group Stage will be given to the club that finishes in the highest position in the Barclays Premier League of the clubs qualifying for the UEFA Europa League.

English winners of the UEFA Europa League will enter at the Group Stage, gaining an extra domestic place only if they fail to qualify through other means for the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League. If the holders of the UEFA Europa League have already qualified for Europe, no extra domestic place will be gained.

Should the FA Cup winners, runners-up (if applicable) and the Football League Cup winners already have qualified for Europe, their place goes to the next best placed clubs in the Premier League.

Fair Play winners enter at the Qualifying round 1 stage.

This place will automatically go the three best-placed national associations in the UEFA Respect fair play rankings provided they achieve an average of 8.0 points or more. The top three associations will then be entitled to enter the club that has either won their domestic top-division fair play competition, or if they are already qualified, the runners-up and so forth.

Straw and clutch at spring to mind! <laugh>
 
CL winners outside the CL league places will enter the CL at the expense of CL qualifiers
EL winners inside the CL league places will enter the CL at the expense of CL qualifiers

They do, but not for the reason you think

Chelsea won the CL last season but were given the chance to defend it despite finishing outside the top 4
This season they won the EL but are not going to be given the chance to defend it because of finishing in the top 4

Does that make sense? No it doesn't. But, ladies and gentlemen, here is Chewbacca, a Wookiee from the planet Endor. But Wookiees live on Kashyyyk and since Kashyyyk isn't full of Ewoks you must find UEFA innocent
 
Wasn't sure notso that was all. I detect an attitude from you towards me,why? I'm not desperate for CL football but what I posted was mentioned on the Chelsea board first,I merely copied looking for info okay?
 
District,92nd minute goal is good fortune isn't it? But well done anyway as I posted on your board. I don't begrudge you this at all,hay and sunshine springs to mind.
