For sometime now, we've been debating the possibility of CL v Europa next season. I'll hold my hands up, I was all for making it an unlikely incredible season and getting in a CL place.
But after watching recent CL games it occurred to me, we really need a 'stepping stone' and a small revamp before we are likely to be ready for CL football, so I've changed my mind and although I've always thought CL football was extremely unlikely, I wanted it because I do love the CL.
So now I’m all for the Europa whilst Ange builds his team and this young inexperienced team can cut it's teeth in what looks an increasingly difficult Europa league.
Money/income will be less of course, but the differential isn't now the hug chasm it once was, and as Ange has said, we're not bankers, most fans couldn't care less about our balance sheet and our ability to spend, they just desperately want the silverware monkey off out back.
I believe the Europa may well be our best chance; what say you?
