Europa Conference League

Im not a fan of this competition but I'd still take it.

If we can't rotate to suit this midweek and still not progress to the latter stages, then it wouldn't say much for us.

Get to the semis and then play our big guns and win the thing.

Would give us Europe two years running and it makes playing in the Europa League far more appealing then.
 

Will have the feel of the old Uefa Cup, 90% of the teams in it will be utter pony but it will mean cracking away days and a chance to end the trophy drought, without too much stress on the first-team.

If we qualify I think we should view it as a do-over from 07/08 cup run. Still agonising how we didn't go all the way that year, we were the best side in it by a mile.
 
It doesn’t excite me much either mate, but I’m talking about our progression as a club. The next step needs to be constant European football. Any European football, with the aim of breaking into the top 4 after a couple of seasons.

You don’t often go from struggling to finish top half straight into the champions league.
I don’t see how we get into a CL spot with having to play other Europeon football. It’s not happening mate. We will only get CL if we have just the league to concentrate on not travelling around Europe playing Thursday against some Bulgarian team when we have a big game at the weekend.
Our squad can’t handle 38 games a season never mind potentially another 15-20. I don’t believe for one minute we will be better for it.
 
Wait...

The English Europa Conference League team goes into a 'play off round'!!!

So it's entirely possible we'd face behemoths like Tobol Kustanai or Vålerengens IF and not even make it to the group stages!!

The alternative is finish 8/9th every year then and hope to finish in the top 4 all of a sudden. Which seems a lot less likely than steady progression whilst we build the team.

Our current squad certainly couldn’t cope with extra games but I’m pretty sure we will improve our squad in the summer. I’ve been lucky enough to see us in Europe both home and away and I’m sure fans who haven’t been able to do that would love to have that opportunity,even if it’s away to some Bulgarian team.
Also i would think that our manager,who I believe has some experience in Europe, will be able to manage the squad to perform both domestically and in Europe.

We will improve the squad and yes I get that the fans want it for away days.
Will it improve us I don’t think it does mate
Do the fans want to travel to the depths of Russia midweek and see the team selection with Olsen Davies Josh King Nkonkou Banard starting because we have Utd on the following Sunday and the big players will be rested.
