23 games from quali to final and all for less money than you get if you get knocked out of the champions league group stage.
Pass.Be nice to have some 3 pm sat games for a change,play the kids in the carling and have a right good pop at the FA cup and the leagueComment

More games = More gate receipts = More Revenue = More investment on the team. We have to have a massive squad for next season if we are playing that many games in the Europa.Originally posted by PoolG View Post
Has the format changed? Why does it take 23 games? Barring the qualifiers, we have 6(group stages) + 4(round of 32 and round of 16) + 4 (QF/SF) + 1 for final which adds up to 15 games.
Do we need to play 4 teams (8 legs) in the qualifiers?Patience when teased often, transforms into rageComment

We're at least good enough to make it to the Round of 16 atleast, which will give us 5 home games which would mean approx 7.5m pounds which in turn is about Stevie's wagesOriginally posted by PoolG View PostPatience when teased often, transforms into rageComment

If we finish 5th we only play 1 round of qualifiers which is the 'play off'. After that we directly enter the group stages.
The play off is on 5th and 18th of August.Patience when teased often, transforms into rageComment

if it was played on wednesdays and i didn't have to endure tv channels like Five and 3e here in Ireland I might be more interested.Those ****ers just add to the depressing ****eness of it all,the inescapable feeling that Europe's elite clubs are having a good giggle at your expenseComment

Probably maginally aye for me but only if we play the sprogs in the cup til the quarters.
Craig's point about non-CL weeks is a really good one.3rd place. Worst champions ever.

No thanks. With some investment in the team this summer I think we can certainly challenge for the title next season. Based on our form for the past 5 months.
The Europa League would get in the way of thatComment

Yes.
I want us to aim to win as many trophies as we possibly can. More games equals more revenue and also gives a chance for the youngsters to be blooded. How will being in the EL help us attrack top talent in the summer compared to being out of the EL? I don't know, but can't do us any harm at all.
I know the Thursday - Sunday games are ****, but on a positive note we'll be on TV a lot more if we're in the EL.
Depressing when you compare it to us getting to the CL QF / SF / F most years, but let's make the best of what we've got.
