The European places thread 25/26

I will start the positivity off. I can see us competing for the chance to get Moyes to win back the Europa Conference trophy next season.

Assuming a decent finish to the window, there is absolutely no reason why we can’t be in the mix.

….ffs, its own thread :rant:

Of course we’ll be in Europe next year.
We’ll go back to our usual pre-season training camp in Austria to narrowly scrape past a few pub teams.

Of course we’ll be playing in Europe next year. I have absolutely no doubt at all based on the location of all 20 clubs in the PL.

I think we have every chance of getting into the minor European places depending on what happens and we strengthen in the transfer window.

If we don’t I think 10-12th is where we will end up

Blue Neon · August 16, 2025

Latest Everton fans poll regarding final league position points to around 10th to 12th place. Am of the same thought. So no, I don't think we will qualify for a Euro place. Possibly next year, when have more quality additions.

It will be another potless season for Everton. Progress, not success, for a couple of seasons, then watch us fly.

Timbucktoo · August 16, 2025

We`ll probably get a conference league place, as will Roma, and then the fun and games will start when we get booted out over multi club ownership.

Dymak · August 16, 2025

Qualifying for the Europa League won't be easy, but it's a competition that no longer has Champions League teams dropping down into it during the later stages, and the CL now has more teams than it used to. So it's a cup that is easier to win than previously, and the winners get CL qualification.

If we don’t get into a European competition, I foresee Davey’s end of season review being a tough gig .

GoldenToffee · August 16, 2025

While I don't think we'll be flirting with relegation this season, I sadly don't think we'll have the firepower to get into the top 7.

I mean, the top five is locked out already in one order or another: City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, United.

I don't think United will fail this season given the rather decent set of strikers they've brought in. If they get a real goalkeeper in too they've got every chance of top four.

Newcastle are a few players away from challenging that group, and if Forest make the signings they're linked with they won't be too far away. Spurs will be very close as well.

Villa currently have a stronger all-round squad than us, too.

I put us currently on level with Brentford, Palace and Bournemouth—best of the rest if you will.

Our club's failure to properly address our obvious problem areas in time will be our downfall—unless of course they pull out at least two quality signings in the next 2 weeks, then no reason at all why we couldn't be at least up amongst Newcastle, Forest, Villa and Spurs.

Clearly they the authorities give certain clubs free reign to dip into an endless money pit it makes it all the more difficult for clubs like Everton that actually need to stick to the rules for fear of points deductions.
