I will put it simply, being a simple geezer lol!, am chuffed we are in it, lowly as it might seem/stand to some, as/if we are starting again coach/squad/team etc then this lowly Europa thing is only the beginning, the place to start, plus there are some good sides in it, so lets go all out to win it.
There are some well known sides in it plus drop downs from the Europa later on if my understanding is correct.
The money: 235 million among its 32 participants. Almost €3 million goes to whoever makes it through to the group stage. Each win gives €500,000 and a draw €166,000.
Top spot in the group stage is worth €650,000 and second place €325,000. L'Equipe reports that there will €8.9 million going to the winner and a place at the group stage of next years Europa Cup, assuming that a club hasn't qualified for the Champions league.
As there will be fewer places available for the Europa next year - that's a nice prize.
Nick it occurs to me that we should have a dedicated Europa conference league thread i.e. team profiles of opponents etc, match reports, player ratings, draws etc - all in one thread - how about you own this one?
@USAFSPURS - would you give Nick a hand with content and running this one?
Sorry Ex I am not qualified to run a European football thread. I dont follow that area of football. There are some on here that do though and mention players I have never heard of !! They would be better suited to a dedicated thread.
I will continue with the ratings compilation next season for sure.
Where's UEFA putting the rest of the half a billion they're getting from the broadcasting rights?
So lining their pockets nicely then! corrupt bastards!They've got to pay a living wage you know...average salary at UEFA is around 230,000 euro's p.a.
see what these people earn - incredible really:

With UEFA aiming to remain a pre-eminent sports organisation with increasing global reach, the Compensation Committee, based on an independent review of compensation in various markets, devised a pay strategy designed to allow UEFA to stay competitive for top international executive talent and talent in highly skilled areas.
