Personally I want the squad to grow a bit first before Europe. Not because I don’t want us to compete but because I don’t think we are ready. My worry is that the extra burden will put strain on premiership performances before we’ve gained a real foothold. Then when we slip down the League the fans will end up calling for the managers head!

Imagine the extra burden of even Europa football on this team, this season? I would take CL football obviously, but Europa nah defiantly don’t want that just yet... it’s like a forcefield that takes clubs approaching the top four and purposefully tires them out, spitting them downwards at least a couple of league positions!

I see there are some sensible people on this forum
 

People always tried to blame Europa for us doing crap, but as we have proved many times we do as bad without euro comps-it was just always there as the excuse for been bad, for me i want euro comps every season if we could get it, but for those that dont want to be in them whats the point of taking part in the league then lol,i doubt we will get in champions league for a while so europa is that next step.
