cubaricho Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago The CL + our PSR situation could create a perfect storm for us to really kick on for good this summer. Keep the purples, add a couple, etc. Conference League not as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago I don’t see any reason why we can’t finish ahead of Chelsea and City aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders. Forest look like they’ll keep going but it only takes a small swing for us to close the gap to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Brighton still playing well though. But major thing is that it’s in our hands and the fixtures are favourable. 18 to 21 points should be attainable and the upper end of that will secure CL football. Maybe even 18 will be enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Hope we can still get into Europa or the CL. Not really fond of the Conference League as a competition, think it lacks prestige for the number of extra games it’s going to give us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Really really want the CL but if we do end up in the Europa League or the Conference then we'll win either of them imo. The Cup win yesterday was the first and hardest one to win, now that's done we can move forward and deal with any club on this level, we'll have the odd hiccup but over 2 legs we'll put 98% of European teams away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saying that, you're right, we don't sign Tonali if we're in the Conference League that season, getting Champions League would be absolutely huge for the club.

Checko Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) One other thing with being in the conference league: it does give the club, and particularly management, more experience of dealing with the extra european workload over a season. Eddie's only had one 6 game European run in his career. Given how it looks like our previous finals experience helped us a lot with the League cup this year, just getting the extra experience would be a good thing. Whether it would be worth it I dunno, but experience is one thing you can't get for nothing. Edited 9 hours ago by Checko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Don't see how it's even up for debate. We don't need to go for "easier cups" now that we have broken that hoodoo. Get in the champions league and it opens up the opportunity to get Tonali, Isak level players again, plus keeping the ones we have. All the while building the revenue streams and growing the global reputation. In no way will I be gutted if we miss out. But being greedy, I want the boys to go all out in this last ten as we have a great chance of securing top 5 again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Theres an argument, certainly from the 80s that the UEFA was harder to win as it had multiple teams from strong leagues. Some of Liverpools/forests runs to the final were very kind on paper.
