The College Dropout Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The only silver lining here is if we can keep the band together. We’ll challenge for the top 4 next season. And give the domestic comps a real go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidAK Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Just now, SAK said: We’ll see re this keeper but Bruno and Isak signed for us when we weren’t in europe. I think a managers plans for a player and their ability to improve their game and being part of a project which is stable and heading upwards is more important. Don’t get me wrong the elite players want champions league but we’re not fishing in the Vinicius Jnr/Bellingham pool. The calibre of player were going to be after are a step below, good players with a stalled but back on track career (Isak) or players with potential to step up (Bruno/Gordon/Botman) and I don’t believe not getting conference league will prevent us signing that level of player as they should be able to see beyond this season. Nothing personal but I hope you’re wrong about conference football affecting our recruitment plans. That's fair, we'll have to see. I hope I'm wrong too obviously My worry is that this will be a small difference but could still be what tips the balance between a player choosing us or another club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A club whose owners claim to be wanting to take the club to regularly challenge the elites wouldn't be happy with 2 consecutive seasons without European football you'd think. Any of those clubs we want to be challenging wouldn't be. Yep. We can dress this up any way we want, but this season has now ended up being a frustrating one, and it puts more pressure on us next season. Let's hope we can capitalise on not being in Europe.

Displayname Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Said before that i would be happy either way. I think we will be very dangerous next year being the only top team only focusing in premier league. Dont think not getting Europe will hinder us in getting upgrades where its needed. Its not like we were going to pick from the top shelf anyways.

Howe nearly did it this year despite facing the most challenging circumstances I've seen a manager face in my time supporting us. If we get the squad balance right we'll be going for top 4 and a couple of good cup runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggy_Keagal Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Another lesson for everyone at club. You have to make your own way. None of this relying on other teams bullshit. We could have made European football a certainty with three games to go and we fucked it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) This season has been so 94/95. Because of the historical precedence of what happened then and personally predicting this season would be akin to it, I'm not fussed one way or the other about the conference league. Makes no difference to the direction the clubs going in, certainly doesn't hurt a CL challenge - which is important and on a day where the worst Man United side any of us have seen has just beaten Man City and given we usually get knocked out of Europe by teams we should be beating on paper (OM, Sporting, Bilbao, Partizan, Alkmaar) the idea we'd win the conference league because were favourites is fanciful.

Vinny Green Balls Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Look at it this way. We'd be lucky to lose by one goal in December-January. We were near relegation form. And we still ended up with 60 points and a +23 GD. We are on the up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I feel deflated and why I really wanted us to get Conference League was to get the club; Howe, squad and fans, used to playing 3 games a week regularly, which all the elites do. A super negative part of me thinks, what if we finish top 4 next season and 2025-26 is a carbon copy of this due to the remaining lack of familiarity of playing 3 games a week at a high level? When the dust settles I'll feel better, but we absolutely have to keep our big 3, Bruno, Isak and Gordon and add sufficiently to them. Them 3 plus a quality RW and Tonali back is exciting to think about. Edited May 25 by HaydnNUFC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 It's a massive loss, no point sugarcoating it. Getting used to playing and handling European football, our best chance at a trophy and probably around £15m lost. It was in our hands but still to finish 7th and have the worst Man United team in forever who finished 8th beat a City side who individually all played the worst you'll ever seen them play is peak Newcastle.
