Best route to the champions league?

[lancs blue]

playing Europa League matches preseason ain't helped anyone historically. Fulham case in point.

See who we bring in over summer and take from there.

Just hope it ain't left to to Jim white putting us out of our misery

Still rather go all out for the League and FA cups myself, the best route for the CL for Man United was the EL but for me we have to priority the league, cant face watching us be poor every other week in the league because we have prioritised a European comp which I dont think we are ready for.

 

[WA Toffee]

Dead simple.

One way takes 38 games, the other takes 17.

One you can have just one off day and be out of the comptition

 

[truebluejersey]

Best route - about £400 million

 

[marsh]

Win every game

 

[Verbal Kint]

10 more should do it

So how many places in the League table are folks willing to give up to win this competition?

 

[Tubey]

League by a mile. There's been two English winners of the Europa League in 15 years, the odds of winning it are extremely slim with Champions League clubs now dropping into it and the knock on effect in the league hits prize money for league placements and overall momentum for a club.

If we win, I'll take 17th.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

I'd rather win Europa

Sneaking into Top 4 is more realistic

I know that sounds crazy, but given Koeman's managerial style at Soton and with us, doing well in the PL grind seems to be how he builds his teams vs Cup/knockout runs

We gotta finish respectably in the league. I'd take win Europa finish 9th

 

[Hogwild]

I'd rather have the season Utd have just had (6th with 2 trophies and CL qualification) than the season Liverpool have had. Bit of an obvious one really.

Yup

 

[SerenityNigh]

Best route is to bum everyone into oblivion

Through Lisbon then?

 

[SerenityNigh]

It's really two different questions isn't it? Which is the best route to plan to make CL? Which path would you rather take?

(A) the Arsenal/4th place trophy
(B) lifting EL silverware

 

[Abraders]

Two teams, one set out for winning the league. The other set out to win the cups.

Coyb

 

[CynicalBlue]

Pointless trophy as even if we win it, UEFA will claim that because the redshite came 9th they take president over our CL spot.
