This absolutely in no way has to be a 1 in 15/20 year experience, we do what other clubs have done at this level, we go again and use this experience to do better next time.
I think the Europa League has grown in stature since the conference (cup winners cup) was reintroduced, that in its self would be a fantastic experience, so there are other options.
We're all hurting, none more so than the players, but rather than feeling sorry for ourselves, let's recognise the hunger we have for more and use this as a platform to build on.
We will come again.
