champions league football far more important for longevity in competing at the very top than winning a league or FA cup which have both lost their shine over the last 20 years. would rather be having big european nights in the champions league and attracting the best players, over gloating about a cup that birmingham and swansea have won in recent times.
slipping out of champions league and allowing a rival like Woolwich or united to take our place could put us back 5-10 years if they spend the money correctly and get the right recruitment in. fuck that! let them have the tin pot cups.
