Mazzy Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 So a potential of 10 clubs from England in Europe next season then? 5 UCL from the league positions +1 possible UCL spots from Europa League 1 in the Europa League from league positions +1 possible spot from Conference League 1 in Conference League from league position And then 1 extra spot pushed down the league. Is that right? Seems crazy to have so many from one league. Especially in the UCL. Good for us though ofcourse . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th + potentially MU or TH in ChL 6th, 7 or Palace in EurL 7th or 8th ConL (depending on Palace winning/losing the FA Cup) That correct? Not sure who gets the EL place if Chelsea win the ConL but finish 8th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the box seat, but it's by no means a foregone conclusion. On paper Forest and Man City do have more favourable fixtures. However Villa and Chelsea have harder Average league position of opposition. Chelsea 7.33 Villa. 8.83 Us. 9.33 Man C. 12.16 Forest. 13.50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Been saying it for a while, I know champions league in Pinnacle of club football but I'd be happy with Europa league, honestly think it's a great chance of another trophy, looking at Spurs and Man Utd in last 4 makes me think of another trophy opportunity... What's people's thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's people's thoughts? I get that point but to not get CL from this point would be very disappointing. I also think CL quietens down all the bullshit Isak noise and allows us to sign better players in the summer. I wouldn’t completely throw my toys out of the pram if we got Europa league but CL allows the club to really kick on again this summer. It could be on the verge of being a really top side and CL helps facilitate that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Regular Champions League participation is how we grow as a cloob. If we get CL then I’m absolutely convinced that Isak, Sandro et al all stay and we also add 4/5 quality players to the squad (GK, CB, RW, ST) Rinse and repeat for 2 or 3 years and we become genuine title challengers.

What's people's thoughts? Looking at two terrible Spurs and Man United teams both likely getting to the final makes me think we could win it comfortably but knowing our luck it would end up with a load of good teams in it and not the poor standard of teams in it this year . The problem is the type of players that we need to attract in the summer if we want to continue improving will all want champions league and the likes of Isak and Tonali will want champions league football . We are already at a massive disadvantage to the so called big 6 in terms of wages and transfer fees we can pay that I think we need champions league and all the benefits it brings to continue outperforming them .

NUFC91 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Completely agreed we need CL and keeps top talent there, just thinking of trophies and In fairness at start of season think I thought CL wasn't achievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's people's thoughts? Madness imho. We've won a cup and got that monkey of our back. The best way to continue to progress and compete for future silverware is by finishing the highest we possibly can, grow our prize money, commercial profile and revenue, etc., attract better players and continue to develop into a better club. For where we are right now, five points clear with 6 games to go, that means anything but CL qualification would be a massive missed opportunity.

Yorkie Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I was firmly in the 'prefer to be in the Europa League' camp and always have been, literally until last night. That competition looks to be on its arse as far as the winners go. Winning trophies means a lot less if you're the default favourites. If Bilbao win - and if say Betis win the Conference - my faith will be restored a bit. Probably a moot point anyway cos we're torpedoing our way to CL footy regardless.

Keegans Export Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I was definitely wavering, perhaps leaning towards Europa but that was mostly based on winning the elusive first trophy. Now we've done that I'm 100% in the Champions League camp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem more blatantly with the Conference League. English clubs have so much money that it diminishes it as any sort of achievement.

Kid Icarus Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Could be wrong here but I think we're on the same points as at this stage in 22/23 now. It's down as -3 but technically game 25 (Brighton at home) was postponed and didn't actually happen until the end of May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
