Now that the season is basically done, I have been going back and forth and I can’t decide if I want us to nick a Europa League spot or if I want us to finish outside of the European places altogether.

Benefits of the Europa league:
- Extra revenue (almost nothing when compared to CL)
- European away nights.
- Youngsters can be given game time in the early stages (would there be a Harry Kane if not for Europa?)
- It’s CL qualification and a cup rolled in to one
- 1 whole week to prepare for a significant amount of league games next season.
- Substantially lower chance of long term injuries to let players (not guaranteed obviously but likely)
- Mourinho gets that training field time he keeps screaming about.
- Look at what it did for Chelsea when they last won the league, Leicester when they won the league and Leicester in the first half of this season (ok I ran out of ideas here a bit)
