7th good enough for euro footy

I'm 45 and I would take qualifying for the CL over winning the fa cup or Efl cup any day. I know I'm in a minority on this - but I do think the glory, revenue and quality is in CL these days.

Have to be 2 or 3 consecutive seasons seasons in the CL to make me willing to trade it for an actual cup. You know what would happen if we just got in there once? We would be drawn in the group of death and that would be our lot, also ruining our league campaign at the same time! Spurs and Man City are still getting used to the competition.

If you're consistently in it then you get the income and become attractive to players and coaches but I think we are a long way off at the moment. Please God let us win something next year, the league cup would do. I promise not to call it the Mickey Mouse invitational anymore...
 

Unless we pull off a sneaky grab for 6th (I'd love it to be from City), we'd need EFL and FA cup winners to be from the 6 teams above us. Remember we'd have to play a qualifying round, too, before we enter the EL proper. There's a lot that could go wrong that is out of our control but all we can do is not slip down the table any further.

We'd actually have two qualifying rounds. The second of which could have some reasonable teams in it. Although it is seeded and we would be.
