History says otherwise mate. Our league form hasn't suffered the last few times we've been in Europe.

whats wrong with you people not wanting everton in europe?
Dunno, you would have to be quite mental to not want it.
Thing is, if we're not good enough to compete in the Europa and Prem, then what's the point in competing at all ?
If we get in the Champions League by some miracle we'll get knocked out at the group stages, and our league form will have suffered. That means we'll miss out on the Champions League the following season and possibly Europe altogether.
It's a horrible cycle of pointlessness if that's the case.
Brennans right, we should just fold the Club at the end of the Season.
I've heard Tranmere have got wider seats lad ?
Nar, it would be United for me.
He plays on the left, he plays on the right, oh Nani, Nani, you are fookin sh1te.

A defense mechanism/form of denial, as now it's becoming increasingly evident that we probably won't get into either form of Europe.
All i know is i'd rather be watching Everton play on a Thursday than Spurs or Chelsea. I think people need to accept that we're not going to be winning the Champions League, and that it's not going to make us one of the big boys if we did manage to qualify for it.
Surely it makes more sense trying to win whatever we can ? We've had nothing for 18 years !

You get heavily compensated financially for any dip in league form that may come about through playing in the Champions League, the money allows you to strengthen and the prestige makes you a more attractive club. If you spend well then your investment should limit the degree to which the European competition impinges on your league form. Qualifying for the Champions League is not pointless.
The same does not apply to the Europa League. There's no big financial rewards, no opportunity to strengthen, but plenty more games to play, and this is when it starts to become pointless!
My fear is that a Europa League campaign will make qualifying for the Champions League unlikely, and I don’t think we are too far away at the moment, but adding another 6 or 7 games to such a small, vulnerable squad is going to be too much.
