Ah, because the winner gets a CL spot right?
What would happen if say Napoli or Fiorentina do get that CL spot when it comes to the EL spots? Assuming both of them will finish the season occupying those EL spots I would imagine the 6th place team getting into the EL right?
No, it just means one less team in the EL.

I think EL is MUCH more important for co-efficients in the grand scheme of things than the CL is. It's how Germany got the 4th spot off Italy, not through the CL but by their teams doing very well in the EL/UEFA Cup while the Italian sides were sending out their second string sides and being regular semi-finalists/finalists in the CL.
Germany simply overtook them in the ranking through that easier medium
I think a couple more seasons like this in the EL with hopefully a bit more of a half decent showing in the CL and we'll start gaining some ground on Germany again
Yeah, the EL gives you invaluable points.
