Criticism Missing out on CL could be catastrophic for us

That's who I meant, sorry.
ochfacepalm:
I know you well John Thomas but yes give him a try
Why not?
You reckon Brighton would take a chance on Poch? Or do you think there would be a revolt among their fanbase.
I don't know why people even think we will get top 6 at this rate, if we lose to Everton we could literally be 1 point off the relegation zone.
And I don't fancy this manager to get us out of a relegation battle.
CL qualification is the biggest load of bollocks in world football. It doesn't affect which players you get and the revenues, although generous, only really kick in at the latter stages. They are dwarfed by overall PL money.
You get good players and managers by paying them lots and lots of money.
Do that, they'll come.

How do you figure that? Where's the £350m coming from?
It’s not just the money, even though the money is important it’s the pedigree of being a CL club that’s important. There’s no way we would get Ndombele or Lo Celso if we were not consistently in the CL...
You’re just saying that to make yourself feel better. If 2 English clubs offered a player a similar wage they would 99% of the time choose the team that’s consistently been in the CL compared to the team playing Europa or not in Europe at all
Don't think we get near top 4 or relegation. A nice relaxing mid table season. The noughties are back in fashion.
Of course we would. Just need to pay for them.
Stadium and sponsorships. Made £381m in our Wembley season. New stadium is going to make more. Plus additional sponsorships.
I agree with OP. It will be catastrophic for us with all the new faces/changes needed in the transfer market. We don't overpay so we won't get top players to come without CL football. We're fucked.
Nah. If it was between us and UTD, they'd chose UTD because they'll pay them £75k a week more in wages. And UTD are in the Europa. Woolwich still get players. Chelsea have been fine.
If we want to land who we want, we need to start regularly paying £200k a week. Obscene, yes. But the reality.
One year is not going to change much in terms of perception. And Lo Celso and Ndombele are already here. Plenty of good players at lower level clubs across Europe. One year is a blip, two is a trend.
Still 84 points to be had this season so let’s not throw ourselves off the balcony just yet.
Then we would easily get the player. The other big teams offer much higher wages.
No I doubt they would come here if we didn’t have CL, and also we aren’t rich like United to make it feasible to consistently overpay
Did you ignore what I said? I said if both clubs offered similar wages they would choose the CL club 9 times out of 10 mate which shows that CL is a big factor. The kind of players we need to win will have interest from CL clubs, that’s a no brainer...
What? You’re saying we would easily get the player if us without CL offered the same wage as Woolwich who have consistently been in the CL?? (In this hypothetical situation)
That's all that matters to some people mate, that's the problem.
