I’d rather not have Europa League football to be honest.
I think it impacts your league form, and could be why we’ve had our lowest league position in decades.

Playing on Thursdays and Sundays isn’t good for your season.

We didn't deserve it this season and next season we will only win it if the new manager comes in and sorts the defence out.
We have every chance of winning it next year and again this should be a priority!

Playing Saturdays isn't either judging last few years.

Nobody will convince me that we’re not capable of bettering anything either of those do.
With the right manager, and several new players, we are capable of challenging for anything. Our ambition must be higher than just winning the EL. There is no real glory in that.
I want the league title, and to challenge for the CL. We will never achieve that while we are being held back trying to win the EL.

EL Finalists - Sevilla, Utd, Chelsea, Atletico,
FA Cup finalists - Wigan, Hull City, Aston Villa, Southamptoon
