Europa or Champions league?

Yes i'd rather have champions league but looking at the bigger picture in terms of actually winning something the Europa suits us more and we have a greater chance.

You dont think we'd struggle in the league with our wafer thin squad? I'd rather we weren't overstretched in a competition that doesn't provide the finances to actually improve the squad

We wouldn't be able to put together a squad with enough depth and quality to perform well in the league to finish in the top 4/5 while mounting a serious challenge to win the Europa League. Even with increased PL TV money, Europa League revenues, with the current board and financial setup I just can't see that happening. Look at how badly Newcastle have done, I know they've had injuries but they've really struggled with playing in the Europa League and maintaining respectable performances in the PL.
 
Even if we got europa i would only want us to get to the groups then not qualify. Theres to many games and we would end up doing a castle . I would prefer nothing had have a crack at champions league every season
 
Championship or Europa League? Huh ... tough one.

More money in the Championship I think but the Europa is slightly more prestigious (although they are close).

I guess I'd rather the Europa although it's a tough decision ... never really thought about ranking the importance of second-rate competitions nobody who isn't in them cares about. Nice one!

If we won the Europa League, we would get less money than if we lost all games in the group stage of the Champions League.






So yeah.
 
I'd rather have the chance of playing Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus etc. and get battered than play Dinamo Jarg from Albania on a Thursday.

hahahaha, to be fair I've had some boss nights with us being the Europa, but the idea of choosing it over the champs doesn't make sense on any level I'm afraid, no offense to the OP
 
If we were to make it to the Champions League we need to be doing it every year, one won't be enough. Too many matches without a decent sized squad would jeapordise or chances of coming fourth, so it would be ideal to make it to the group stages then play to get knocked out so that we get the money for the group stage and can then concentrate on the league. Not romantic I know but would make sense.
 
I understand where you're coming from mate and I'd be tempted to agree.

But.

I want us to play boss teams and get lots of money. I'd rather we got to the groups of the Champions League and if we can't go further, finish 3rd and then go into the Europa League
 
Now I know this may seem a daft question but what would you prefer?

While we'd all prefer Champions League for obvious reasons (prestige, very highest level, chance at ultimate glory, financial gains) I'd like to think of the Europa League as an excellent alternative should we not make top 4.

I just read this, which I think is a brilliant reminder we could all do with another European run, even if it's 'just' the Europa League:
