We wouldn't be out of Europe in that scenario.
Simply put: we're guaranteed 7th minimum now so if Chelsea beat Woolwich in the FA cup we'll get Europa League.
In your hypothetical we finish 7th below Wolves and they qualify for the CL by winning the EL - but that would just mean 5 CL spots with 5th and us getting EL.
Of course, I don't know how I missed this. Thanks!
No. I want to compete for as many trophies as possible. I also want to give experience to the younger members of the squad.
Why wouldn't we want Europa League? Gives another route into the champions league and allows us to maintain a big squad.
Also, there is an expectation that next seasons Europa and ECL will be limited to single fixture ties (i.e. not played over 2 legs); with the home advantage going to the team with the best goal difference in the previous fixture.

Chicken feed in comparison to the CL, unless that’s changed recently.
I hope we qualify and win it. However failure to qualify would probably help us domestically.
Qualifying under this seasons crazy circumstances would be a huge achievement
I know where you’re coming from, but considering we made the CL final last year it still feels like a huge failure.
Source?
Yep and now that Woolwich can no longer catch us I would like to declare that ‘St Arseholes Day’ has officially arrived for the fourth year running!
Battle for Europe: How PL clubs sealed UEFA qualification
The Premier League's European qualifiers have been finalised for the 2020/21 season
www.premierleague.com
Qualification usually goes as in the table below, with a maximum of seven European spots available.
| Comp | Stage | PL | Cup | As things stand |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UCL | Group | 1st | LIV | |
| 2nd | MCI | |||
| 3rd | CHE | |||
| 4th | LEI | |||
| UEL | Group | 5th | MUN | |
| FA* | WOL | |||
| 2QR | EFL** | TOT |
**If the EFL Cup winners finish in the top five, their UEL spot goes to the next-placed team in the PL yet to qualify
Should a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League, they will automatically qualify for the group stage of next season's UEFA Champions League, regardless of their league finishing position.
A maximum of five Premier League teams are eligible for UEFA Champions League qualification.
If a Premier League club win the UEFA Champions League and another win the UEFA Europa League, and neither finish in the top four, the club lying fourth in the Premier League will drop into the UEFA Europa League group stage.
If you remember the early 90s, when we had some real weaklinks in the side, now we have some very decent players - world cup winner Hugo (whose found some form), Toby A (given new life), Son and Kane.
This means we have a good chance to win whatever competitions we are in, thus we should be in as many as possible. With Mourinho's style of play, our players will not be so exhausted and can play across competitions.
You could argue this season will go down as our Furlough season - where we rest a bit, then go again. I'm far more optimistic about next season than I've been for a long time, so long as Levy backs Mourinho with one or two good signings and we ship out the players he wants rid of.

....So should every fan that likes the idea of minimising the effects of C19 and no CL on our recruitment.

I'm going for a top four finish. Yes I know the first two places are probably nailed on but after that I think it's any one of about four teams for the 3rd and fourth spot. If we finish 6th this season and with a place in Europe then I can only see things improving. A couple of astute signings during transfer window and Spurs are on the up !
