KaKa Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago As for Newcastle. Has to be the Champions League ideally. The money from all those games would be huge. The new format also increases the chances of progressing through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago CL qualification off the heels of a trophy win would put us in such a strong position for the summer. We'd be in total control of where we want to take the squad. The new format also makes it much more likely we could get at least to the playoff round and there's more money available than last time. The Europa League would be a fun consolation with a likelihood of progressing far and a possibility of winning it. The money can become decent if you make it far enough too. There are some famous clubs, but at least half of the teams in the final eight of this year's conference league have Championship-level revenues. There are spending disparities in all competitions, but the gap is a bit extreme for the top PL clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago If I had to pick my preferences; 1. Champions League. Win a trophy and qualify for the CL and nobody can argue we aren't on a major upward trajectory. Will allow us to aim for our top transfer targets in the summer, plus massively increases our chances of keeping any players we want to keep. 2. Conference League. Huge opportunity to win a second trophy. Should be able to progress deep into the competition without relying on our first XI and therefore maintain a strong League and domestic cup campaign. 3. Europa League. Less chance of winning it than Conference League, considerably less money than the Champions League. Absolutely would not turn it down but I put it third behind the prestige of the CL and the relatively higher chance of winning the Conference League.

Mazzy Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Assuming 5th is UCL, we really need to be taking advantage of that. Our run to the end of the season is reasonably favourable so we've got an massive opportunity to do it. I really don't want to get to the end of the season and see Bournemouth/Brighton/Fulham finishing anywhere above us and sneaking a UCL or Europa spot, that would be frustrating.

jack j Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago We will be favourites for 7 of the last 10 games i reckon, the 3 we won't be are Brighton villa and arsenal away.

Ikon Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago There should be less pressure now after this title. Even more importantly proper feel good factor and momentum and even more hunger. Massive! What a day the 16th of mars 2025! Over the moon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Really unsure how the rest of the season is going to play out. I want to believe we're going to ride an incredible wave of momentum and finish top 5 comfortably. Our recent patchiness in the league may be down to the final and just like 2022/23 we may take off from here. But it wouldn't be altogether shocking if our season just peaked and we find it difficult to be switched on for 10 more games (and so be it if that's what happens). Never been so happy about an international break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Brentford at home is an awkward but very winnable game and then it’s Leicester away followed by Man Utd and Palace at home. There’s a real chance for us to cement a top 5 challenge in those fixtures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
