A year without European football?

[Neiler]

Would it be a good or a bad thing for us?

 

[bluebloodinmyveins]

It's probably a bit of both. It gives us a lot less games and travelling, but it makes it difficult to attract players and keep the ones we have.

Not doing Spurs or Villa any harm is it?

"we had to let Piennar go as he needed European football at this stage of his career"

A good thing for Bill

 

[EFCTim Cahill]

If it results in us losing important players than it's a bad thing, If we keep all our players and we are challenging the top 4 it will give us less games to play than our rivals which means we are fresher for the weekend games so in that way it is still bad but it is a cloud with a decent silver lining

 

[Brownie]

Bad thing for me because it completely removes half the point of each season. Other than Europe, what are we playing for exactly?

You need to be able to do reasonably well in the UEFA cup before you can get anywhere near the Champions League.

I disagree mate. Until we get to at least the semi finals we're no better than second tier clubs from any of the major leagues.
