Are the Europa League and the Europa Conference leage worth it, you recieve 2m and 1m, respectively if you get to the Quarter finals, West Ham and Aston Villa will have to play 10 games to reach that stage, is it worth it for the expensive of having a larger squad

For less rich clubs with smaller or less quality rich squads it would affect their league performances and thus results over time.

I think as a fan you want the experience but from a footballing perspective, it can be a bit of a poison chalice.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Emotionally, priceless!

That's my take too. I would love to see Palace qualify for Europe in my lifetime. You look at how much clubs in the top 10 have spent versus what we spend and it is a huge ask, but if a small club like BHA can do it, why not us.

For Premier League clubs it's certainly a mixed bag but for Scottish and other countries leagues it's a significant amount of money. Scotland has had such a hugely positive impact on the world for a population of five million. It should be wealthier really.

I noticed two Brighton fans got stabbed. I know it's Brighton but I still felt somewhat sorry for them. I'm not sure I fancy that.

We can't even go on a up run. Europe would honestly be a disaster for us. Imagine we played in Europe this season with all our injuries?

It is an interesting question though. How much bigger squad would you need to perform on multiple fronts? 6 extra £20 million pound players? Blended wage of £70k? £120m upfront and £22m extra wages a year.....

The Ark of the Covenant for me is a Domestic Cup.
