Hook the ECL to my veinsI think EL is fine, but I don't want to go the Europa Conference League
This, although sod the conference thing.No. In 3 years, our uefa coefficient might get us into the champions league consistently. We can’t get a big fat 0 for one of the 5 years.
We don't prioritise winning any silverware as a result we never look a serious threat either! (Shocking) If we're not in the champions league, we'll be poorer and Dan may never sell up, as he won't be able to let go of his "we're champions league finalists don't ya know" valuation.What's the point of being in the Champions League exactly if we're not going to build a squad capable of winning it and we're going to prioritize it over competitions we can win?
interesting to compare two clubs, Manu v Seville... hasn't seemed to have impacted Manu, but I'm not sure if Seville went on in leaps and bounds?This.
We were stuck in a vicious Ropey League cycle for 10+ years too let's not forget. It's a tedius 2nd rate competition we're not geared up to win that simply hinders our league and even domestic cup form.
Seems like the six (six!) European trophies Sevilla have added to their cabinet via the Europa League are a relevant piece of the equation.interesting to compare two clubs, Manu v Seville... hasn't seemed to have impacted Manu, but I'm not sure if Seville went on in leaps and bounds?
comfortably in CL spot this year tooSeems like the six (six!) European trophies Sevilla have added to their cabinet via the Europa League are a relevant piece of the equation.
Sevilla are level with Manchester United and Porto in all time European trophies. They have as many as Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and Borussia Dortmund COMBINED.
Oh fucking yawnThis club never takes Europa League seriously so it's just a waste of time. Look at the state of the performances that got us eliminated last few times: 3-0 Zagreb, losing to Gent, 5-1 aggregate against Dortmund. A waste of time for these bottlers imo.
But Benfica are shite. No big deal!Seems like the six (six!) European trophies Sevilla have added to their cabinet via the Europa League are a relevant piece of the equation.

Juande Ramos has a bigger UEFA trophy cabinet than Eusebio. What a world!But Benfica are shite. No big deal!
Oh you better believe it my friendLiterally know nothing about this ECL.
Do the 3rd placed EL teams from the groups drop into the ECL in the same way the CL drop into the EL?
It's also just a great looking and very distinctive trophy. I would love for our guys to lift it.Its pretty embarrassing how supporters of a club thats won the Jr. Domestic Cup twice in 30 years talks about the Europa League....just saying.
Along with making the ECL in name and structure less absurd, they should really play all three finals on the same weekend.It's also just a great looking and very distinctive trophy. I would love for our guys to lift it.

The club will skillfully avoid this scenario by failing to qualify for Europe altogether.That Dinamo Zagreb loss was really hurtful. If we do this again next year and fall to team like Zagreb in QF, then fuck it, I don't need it.
