Europa Conference League

[Goat]

Hope we miss this rubbish, watch how well Wolves play this season without having this Europe League stuff to deal with.

Watch how well they spend the 30m they made from the Europa League last season.

You mean they managed too buy players, something we can do without the burden they had to endure.

They have a very small squad, I doubt they stay as lucky as they did last season.

Jimenez was their only striker in the entire squad and he stayed fit for 55 games.

Could have given it a sexier name for goodness sake...

just needs to tie up sponsorship by Vauxhall and it will look more glamorous

Utterly pointless.

Just more cash for the likes of sky and uefa - as if they need it.

Now if it were the cup winners cup and a knockout competition over two legs I'd be interested. Very interested.

Do Sky have the rights to this? BT Sport have both the others...

No.
In all honesty the league and FA cup are the most important things. I used to like the european competitions until the were turned into enormous bloated runners up leagues and runners up to the runners up leagues. I simply don't hold any interest in those manufactured shows.

finished 7th with europa, finished 7th without it.

I dunno - hence the phrase 'the likes of'. Makes no difference.

 

[Blue Shoes]

so when was this decided? first i've heard about it, is it actually confirmed, or just a proposal?

i wish they'd have a premier european competition with all the winners (possibly a couple of runners up from the top 5 leagues, just to keep money happy), then a second tier for 2nd place teams and then a cup winners cup for all the domestic cups. That'd be more than enough for europe. I love it when we're in it, but it's an utter farce now, the CL has lost most credibility when teams can be the 5th best team in their country but be "champions of europe".
The fact that over a 3rd of the prem can be in europe is a joke.

Too poor seasons really, yeah 7th is great for clubs of a certain level, but we im sure the novelty has wore off now for Wolves fans, they have gone past the Magnificent Seventh being a big achievement and moved onto bigger targets

well they're stupid if they're getting that giddy, as goat points out, their squad is tiny, they've had massive luck with injuries so far. A good first XI, but past that, not much else. This is their best back to back finishes since the 50's or something, so i think they'd be a bit naive to think they should be doing much better.
