Does anyone else think that we should be finishing no higher than 8th as there is a good chance that the European places will go down to 7th and the last thing we need is an early start and a messed up preseason. To be honest 8th will be a challenge top half hopefully, but getting into the europa places would be a disaster

Wouldn't say its a disaster but it would make things really difficult if we were changing the squad as we all hope.

I hope we never qualify for that Europa league it just f@#$s your season up, and we can do that without it.

I wouldn’t go that far it’s a steppingstone to prepare for eventually getting in the champions league and you need European football to attract the better players, but just not next season. It’s probably a moot point as unless we go on an amazing run top half will be a result .

{Ed025's Note - 17th would be a result the way we are going Big C.. :)

europe helps everything, helps in attracting players, and helps the club build and get used to these European trips, all the clubs do it that way, and I think our target at this current moment should be in fact to get into Europa and do it consistently and build on it.

Bit of a dilemma isn't it. Getting up towards the top is only possible if we've been on a decent run, which we all want to see. Too close to the top could mean a place in Europe and all that entails. Personally I'd like to go as high as poss and hope that instills enough confidence in the squad to cope with the EL.

With BigH on this, who the heck wishes their Team not to do their best.

Don’t get me wrong I hope we do our best but I don’t think the additional pressure, games and shorter preparation time would help having a europa cup campaign starting in mid July, considering where we are at currently. Hey if we get our act together and go on an amazing run and finish in the europa places then I’ll be thrilled

I like the Europa League and would be more than happy if we qualified, but only in fifth or sixth (which won't happen this season) .

Qualifying in seventh (or sixth depending on cup winners) is horrific because you start playing the half dozen qualifying matches almost straight after the end of the season and often nearer China than the UK.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic DFS or if that was a compliment. I'm easy whichever. :-)

Anyone who has travelled abroad with our amazing away fans understands why I say bring Europa League on! It also means we are making progress. After that would be Champions League. I think saying not to want it is lake saying would you accept being relegated for a trophy? No way. League positions first but qualification for Europe second!

The only teams who appear to win the europa league are those with big squads. Look at all the other teams who get in with smaller squads and how it ruins a lot of their their season. Devil you know and devil you don't.

{Ed002's Note - The squads are all the same size.}
