New CL format "2009": starts in 2009 or 2010

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else.

So we got the new Platini format for CL. When will we QUALIFY for this new format?

(1) 2008-2009: so DURING this season we will qualify for the new format? So then the actual new format will be used from 2009-2010

(2) 2009-2010: Qualifying for the new format starts in 2009-2010. So the new format will start in 2010-2011.

Bert: still a great site!

(1) In 2009/2010 the new format will be used.
The countrycoefficient '08 (where still (some) changes are being done on will be used for number of qualificationspots in 2009/2010
Domestic summerleagues 2008 and winterleagues 2008/2009 will be used to fill these spots
For teamcoefficient will the teamranking '09 be used (still more than 1 european season to go)

This summer we will have the last intertoto year and after that 1 more european season (2008/2009) according to the old format.

So this change means that Netherlands keep its second CL spot.

OLD system: spot 9 = 4 entries in total
NEW system: spot 9 = 6 entries in total

Is this correct?

It was not a problem of losing the 2nd (qualification) CL spot, but losing 2 UefaCup spots. That indeed will not happen, despite Holland will end up position 9 this year.

indeed. I am immensely surprised this still hasnt been reported in the media, but this year's bad results have no impact on the number of teams qualifying due to the changes.

Well, I sent a mail to vi, where the wrong qualificationnumbers were published on the page with the otherwise correct coefficient numbers. No reaction yet or adjustment of the page...

vi is a football website of a magazine: "voetbal international"
They have lots of newsitems (in Dutch) about football and also have the Uefa Coeffcients mentioned (no link to this site) but unfortunately with the current qualification method

Yes! This should have been big news in Holland. Johan Derksen wake up!

"Domestic summerleagues 2008 and winterleagues 2008/2009 will be used to fill these spots."

So Sweden's second AND third placed teams of THIS season (already started) will get an UEFA cup berth? I.e., one more than last season (Instead of the former IT berth)?
