Yes Everton can still qualify because when a team wins the CL (ie Liverpool) they do NOT automatically qualify for next years competition. They would still have to finish in the qualifying places of their league.

 

However, the FA would have the option of choosing Liverpool to represent the english league in the CL as the competitions winners and this would be at the expense of Everton who would drop into the Uefa Cup.

 

Hope that makes sense

Europe only permit 4 sides from England.  So if Liverpool win anything (although finishing below Everton in the League) then Liverpool will be in Europe and not Everton.

I'd read in a footie website that the FA would have to choose between Liverpool and Everton if (and it's a massive "if") Liverpool win the CL and Everton finish 4th in the league.

It would be detrimental to the sport if the winner of the Champions League was not permitted to re-enter Europe to defend it.  The FA wouldn't have no option but to allow it.  UEFA should just allow England an extra space imo.

If Liverpool won the CL then they would go into the Champions League next term and Everton would be entered into the UEFA cup.

That's not striclty true. It will be Everton who qualify by rights BUT the FA can choose to have Liverpool represent them and if that happened Everton would be put in the Uefa cup

This is all totally irrelevant as Everton will not finish fourth, they will probably be fifth or sixth!!!!!!!!

On the 5th May 2005, the English FA announced that if Liverpool win the Champion's league and Everton finish 4th, that it will be Everton who will take the CL spec. 

And rightly so... the tables don't lie! If after 38 games each playing the same opposition, surely it is fair that the highest gets the Champions League space which was 'promised' before the season started. 

Liverpool's lucky streak of wins in the Champions League is simply that...lucky!

Good luck Everton.
