Europa League do we want it?

[ArtetaMoney]

We have 0 chance of winning it, have no squad depth

We have even less chance if we’re not in it.

 

[blue to the bone]

I will always say yes. Our cup history for 25 years has been near enough awful, especially the league cup were we seem to try and fail every year
At least Europe gives something different and the change of a few good away trips
Would you prefer a European game Thursday night or Brighton at home Sunday 4pm kick off

My views are very similar. Most fans want to watch and attend games. Travel to different countries and see new teams at Goodison. For me anyway that appeals more then having Bournemouth at 3 on a Saturday

European football is rubbish, too many short memories on here, really hope we miss out on it, rather have a real go at the league cup, we need to win something

Good chance that european qualifiers won't be in the league cup next season, great chance of winning it in that case.

I still want european football though

 

[Thetigerblue]

No.
it’s really hard to win but oddly incredibly boring
Players become knackered (related to squad depth and quality)
It’s a great chance to injure players who’ll miss important domestic completions

Small-time mentality not to want to be in European competition

Is that code for “most fans want to go on the lash in strange and exotic locations”?

Its worth 20m+ to the club, only a fool wouldn't want it, if nothing else it gives us a chance to play more yoots.

With the win over Norwich we still have a chance of getting in to the Europa league but do we want to?

Yes the extra money alright and it raises the profile of the club

However we have a paper thin squad and there taking about starting next season at the end of September and finishing in May as normal.
Which means fitting 38 games in to 32 weeks, plus Fa cup and League cup. Then you add in the Europa league and that’s at least another 10-15 games(if we do well)
Something like 50 odd games in 32 weeks.
I think we be better out of Europe and used the congestion of other clubs to get ourselves in to the top 4/6

Would agree but if everything starts late then expect some revision of timetable/structure.

 

[StreetEndBlue]

Who wouldn't want to be Europe when you've a manager whose done it all Europe, not just in as a manager but when as a player as well?

Carlo is used to being in Europe season in season out so I'm sure he wants to be there. I certainly do too.

That said, I do believe we'll come up short and just miss out on it.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Yep, we could do with the money.

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I'd honestly rather us finish 8th and then have a crack at the Milk Cup next season, but then I'd always prioritise domestic competitions over continental ones because I'm weird

 

[radiostar]

Not playing in Europe has a negative effect on the club.

Of course Europe should be the aim every season as a minimum.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

More Everton to watch the better for me.

And more chances of winning something cant be a bad thing.

Also, being in Europe raises the club profile further...

 

[carolinablue232]

Of course we want it but it looks like it’s gonna be one spot for about 8 clubs to fight for. So very unlikely.

 

[4737carlin]

Obviously it's better we dont get stuck having to play European football, but dont forget if we do I cant see us having European away days like we did in the past.
Not sure if Brexit will change stuff for travel but the virus definitely will. I read earlier about parts of Spain going into full lockdown again, the last thing I can see being a priority for anyone is fans flying in large numbers just to see a game.
