I've come to that conclusion too. A man can only stand a certain amount of disappointment and heartache. We have feelings too, you know - we just show them in different ways.IMO we need a season out of Europe completely. We have never given it a proper go apart from the CL final ( and we rode our luck during that campaign) so in our current state we need to avoid any extra pressure.
Agree , and have a go at the domestic cups for a changeIMO we need a season out of Europe completely. We have never given it a proper go apart from the CL final ( and we rode our luck during that campaign) so in our current state we need to avoid any extra pressure.
When you think about it, finishing 7th and getting conference league might have been our best chance to make Europa in 2024/25. Hard to see us breaking top 6 next season.
No chance of coming 6th this season, Brighton have 2 in hand still.We are not winning the League next year, but could pick up European silverware. Why wouldn’t you want to compete in Europe - so you can qualify for Champions League following year - should be able to field a team Thursday and Sunday.

Want to win things, just to build the habit.
Conference league does that
Harder to win than ConferenceWe can win the FA or League cup then. Much bigger trophies.

All depends on the draw though. We scraped to that League Cup final in 2021 after drawing with Chelsea and beating championship Stoke and Brentford, and getting a bye vs Orient. Then it's a one off in the final, we know we can beat even City.Harder to win than Conference
If he truly wants to get the fans back onside then trophies are a priority in my eyes. Right now competitions like the conference league are our level. League Cup, fa Cup or conference league if we make it and a top 8 finish is realistic to me. I think top 4 is gone for some considerable time now with the emergence of Newcastle and what I think will be the re-emergence of Chelsea next year. Liverpool will spend united will spend Woolwich will spend Newcastle will spend we'll fuck about and get 3rd 4th rate players again. The games up for enic and levy now in terms of top 4 and the revenue that brings them. The only way they can save themselves from this situation getting worse is some silverware imo.The league has to be our focus and priority next season. Missing out on ECL is a healthy outcome from a very unhealthy season.
