Yes, small time thinking, if you don't. If we want a successful team with better players, Europe is a must.

Can we challenge on all fronts. The league....the fa cup....the league cup... And the Europa cup. Not imo with this squad. But I still want us to try. To rotate. To compete. To try and win something.
We are not going to win much by taking the approach that we don't want to enter in the first place.
So for me it's premier league safety first. Get points on board . Then see what we can do. get as high up the league as we can.
Then get through the early rounds of the cups. By using the squad. By rotating. And if we do get to the business end of any of these cups then go flat out to try and win one of them. Let's win some football matches.
I always hated how tamely we have exited certain cups.
Why enter in the first place if we then lie down and get beat......
So yes......I would love to see us get into the Europa league. And I would also like to see Ancelotti build a squad that can compete on all fronts. Get our squad fit and fighting to be able to compete on all fronts..
You get nothing handed to you in this game. We need to be brave. We need to be competing. Not just making up the numbers....
It's time this club won something . So enter everything and let's see were we get to......Up The Toffees.....
Improve the squad. Get fitter. Get better. Not really saying much if professional footballers cannot manage two matches a week.Would be 2 matches a week every week next season and we can barely do it on the odd occasion.
We can’t do because the squad is awful
United were 2nd and won it with Mourinho, no?
If we sneak Europa League this season then our domestic season will be a massive failure next season. Our squad is simply nowhere near good enough to handle all of the games. As a result I would much prefer we finish 8-10th and concentrate on getting rid off a lot of players and bringing in 3-4 quality players to the squad, then we focus on the cups and a shot at the top four next season. Wolves and Leicester have shown that is possible this season.
Daft question.
For player attraction and the balance sheet, Europa qualification should be a minimum goal every season.
As for next seasons scheduling, I wouldn't be surprised to see the format tweaked for at least the coming season. (maybe home OR away is drawn, not two legs)
