We don't play in Europe we don't attract better players.
We don't have a Euro 11 place in the squad available then We might see that extra % of effort at the weekend from some. Not all but some.
Even the favourites will know the chances of getting rotated will be less. The guys lower in the chain will know thier chances will be fewer still. Can't be a good thing.
Regardless of the prize money it's still income even without the gate receipts.
I don't put much weight on the coefficient points. The amount of placed CL and EL slots given to the big leagues mean we will never catch them and will always have multiple qualifier rounds. Likewise with comparable t.v. leauge money. You only have to look at where we could buy players from 20-25yrs ago and the wages we paid.
20-25years lads. Our big earners make what our big earners made back then. Mental.
Wishing not to have a shot at any European competition is madness in my view.
It's for the players, us and balance sheet.
If we don't have to sell a couple of our better players this window I'll be shocked.
EL elimination guarantees it.
Less fire power for the 10
