Competitions like the CL should be there to benefit teams, the teams shouldn't be there to benefit the CL. If a team like Wigan make it to the CL then good for them, they'll benefit from a bit of extra revenue that season which will hopefully make them more competitive in coming years, which can only be a good thing surely!

I agree to an extent but I still think a teams league placing is more important.
Did Millwall not get to a Cup Final without facing a top division side? What if they were to qualify for the CL through beating one EPL club throughout an entire season? Is that fair on the 4th placed EPL side who has won 20 games in the EPL that season?
