Memphis Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Just now, ATB said: It will be a bigger problem if we miss out on EL och CL next season. then are the chances that our star player will leave, a lot bigger . Without a doubt. This result does pile pressure on Eddie Howe and the team to out together a top 6 finish and a decent cup run at minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I don’t know how some people are not bothered about not being in Europe. After the time we had under Ashley, after having the team now, where you would think that we would be favourites, after our love affair with European games in the past. I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t be disappointed. Fair enough if you are club that view it as a distraction, but for us it wouldn’t be. Realistically now we have been whittled down to just 2 trophies that we can win next season. I’m fucking gutted, especially when you consider that Man Utd fan’s largely couldn’t give a fuck about the Europa League, and likely don’t even give much of a fuck about winning the FA Cup, and Chelsea fans certainly couldn’t be arsed with the Conference League. Our fans, and our club would relish every match, we would treat it like West Ham did last season, and to an extent how Villa have this season.

And presumably you can qualify for ECL by finishing around midtable in German/Italian leagues due to extra places and Atalanta winning Europa There is a chance that the top 9 teams in Italy can get into Europe next season.

Man city home, man utd away and Chelsea away? Add in the potential to need to beat maybe an arsenal or Liverpool or whoever if u reach a final etc. It feels alot more unlikely than beating whoever we would have to face in conference league.

I think it was Kieran Maguire who said for most clubs that any extra they make from the Conference league is lost due to players contracts having a European football bump up.

Boey_Jarton Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I am glad we didn't qualify for Europe because it will give the team a better chance next season of finishing higher up in the league and qualifying for Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Les Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The Conference would have been a good way to get our UEFA coefficient up so that we don't get another group of death when we get CL again, never mind the real chance of actually winning a major trophy.

Erikse Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Usually I would say that we've got ourselves to blame, but 60 points and +23 GD is usually more than enoigh for top 7. Even top 6 in a lot of seasons. Not getting Europe of any form with +23 is a record that will not get beaten in a very very long time.

Absolute horrific take. Might as well have said that we shouldn’t have been in the Champions League this season, and also completely dismisses what Villa have done this season.

True, just said I’d rather win the League cup. It’s a classic cup, a lot of history. The same with Europa League/UEFA cup. The conference league is a Mickey Mouse cup.

I'm in the camp that not qualifying for conference league is not going to have a big impact on our progress, or in the transfer market as a whole. But I'm gutted on the chance to win something... like the whole point of football. I want to see us progress through a tournament, get to a big final, have that moment to see the players celebrate, parade through the city. And an actual pot to show for it. Like isn't that the entire point of this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
