Because you get £40M for being in the top 4. Which is all we're concerned with.
We usually want top 4 because of the money that UCL brings in along with a chance to play Europe' strongest teams.I care about Top 4. But if we lived in this hypothetical world of either making Top 4 every season, failing to win anything, playing Conte’s wankball and finding myself preferring to punch myself in the nuts instead of watching us play OR fail to consistently finish in the Top 4, but we play attractive, direct, enjoyable football that’ll make me look forward to watching us play then I’ll vote for that every day of the week.
I thought F1 were paying for the Go Karts? ...but I know what you mean.We usually want top 4 because of the money that UCL brings in along with a chance to play Europe' strongest teams.
However, that money never gets spent on what we need... they just use it for Go Karts.
I agree...until they fuck off theres no point.We should care about it.
But as our owners are only interested in the money it brings to the coffers, and not using it as a springboard to improve our football team and win trophies then quite frankly, until they fuck off, I couldn't give a shit
Don't know the details of it but if that is the case.I thought F1 were paying for the Go Karts? ...but I know what you mean.
More money foreverythingENIC and a new manager will want CL
I think we should have higher expectations than that tbh. But so long as we have owners who's only motivation is profit and making money, the fan base as a whole will never feel connected.I just want to see us connected to the club as a fanbase, enjoy what we see on the pitch and look forward to games eaach week.
If that means we finish 8th every year, so be it. If it means we finish top 4 every year, so be it.

We should all want to qualify for the Champions League. But not for the reason that motivates our owners.
It was absolutely bullshit. Pure and simple bullshit.I think most of us have realised all the so called benefits that the club would get was just talk and has actually meant no change in the way things are run . I think a lot of of getting top four was about who we kept out of it like last year the goons meant there we made more of it than it really meant in terms of progress on the pitch for ourselves .
Then why the fuck didn't they try harder last night when they still WERE in it, to STAY IN IT?Because top players want to play in the top competition.
The premier league is the top competition these days. Not sure there is player a Prem can’t get without CL
It's funny, all those years we WEREN'T in the CL, the main reason cited by players we were after - but didn't sign - was that they wanted to play CL football (and hear the silly poxy "anthem") ...that's why Man Utd, Chelsea, Arse, Liverpool and latterly Man City had an edge over us...Utd, Woolwich have signed pretty good players recently without CL football. It can be done, players will go if the wages are right. In fact many players will go to a non CL club if they can get a higher wage.
