Not sure we can opt out after we’ve won the cup though…

Definitely, we all want to see it, and if it comes then fine but I just think that it puts further pressure on the team builders in the back room, raises expectation and probably if anything sets us back by having to compete in many more games with an ultra thin squad.

The corollary is that we might attract better players if in Europe, if we can afford to buy them.

Yeah we are more likely to be able to attract the Fofana types that rejected us in the summer, but equally wouldn't be able to spend that kind of money on one player with us needing so many extra bodies to fill out a squad capable of managing multiple competitions.

I wouldn't complain if we got Europe as it'd be an insane turnaround from the past few seasons, but also I don't think it does us any favours in the long term.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens if we did qualify and Roma, as expected, do.

I'd like to think the Friedkins have learned from the Textor farce and have prepared for this.
