So are we gonna throw our EL games to ensure we don't qualify?

Which has been the norm since Stevie G arrived. Good achievement by the club.

Would it? £18M for EL run. £17M for Igamane and £25M for Raskin dwarfs what we'd make in EL, even if we were to win it. So even if we "banked" the Igamane money and spent the Ranskin money we'd be no worse off and we'd possibly be Champions which makes it easier to get to CL next season. Yeah, idiotic right enough.

I would like to watch us smash the Greeks while eating a plate of delicious Gyros and sipping on a cold bottle of Mythos, but if we loose Raskin, Hamza & Dessers and don't replace them with better, and add some decent defenders I may end up hiding behing the couch.

He's got a contract till 2027, so no need for anything right now.

I think it's a moot point, anyway. I don't think European 'success' needs to entail an extended run deep into the competition. Merely reaching the group stage of the EL would be deemed 'successful', which shouldn't require us to shift focus from the league. @CammyF

Semantics - we need domestic success 1st then Europe will follow on.

That would be the plan of a self harming idiot.

You said 'never.'

Once in 14 years kinda proves my statement.

City one ahead

Let’s take one step at a time can we beat the Greeks

2020/2021 disproves your statement. League champions and last 16 of Europa league.

I know - however I'd take a 1 year hit to get us better placed for both domestic and European success. Probably in the minority, but think it's the best way forward.

Nope - we've never been capable of both. Very few teams have.

Certainly the worst for travelling, been twice before and thought it a bit of a shithole but que sera sera.

Generally agree but see how our squad is on 1st September. Our squad looks weak just now, granted.
