I am sick of reading... "I hope we get pumped out"... "Its worthless"...

Below is a link to the coefficient table of 2009

And here is the 2008 table after the UEFA cup final run...

http://www.xs4all.nl/~kassiesa/bert/uefa/data/method3/tcoef2008.html

It is plain to see that for the sake of Scottish Football we need to press on and do our best in this tournament.

However from a more selfish point of view we have to look at the financial implications

As you can see from the link above the 8 teams that dropped from the CL in 2009 averaged a good income.

Jealous tims or Bears scared incase it loses us the title again.

I have no worries at all. I want to win it all and think we can.

There's also a very important league title at steak, which this competition will no doubt cause a distraction from.

A league that will be rendered worthless if we do not do well in European competition...

Is it sirloin or rib eye ?

Love a good sirloin myself.

I can understand some peoples concerns regarding the league title but I think we can still enjoy the Europa League as well as winning the title. We just have to be more sensible as to who we field in our team during the European games.

[gunslinger 270]

if we were to make the quarters we would be very rich in points and cash.

There is a difference here:

We will have the title wrapped up long before the crucial games in the EL come up

That's the spirit!!!!! We need to get the "Quadrangle" for Walter.

There's also a very important league title at steak, which this competition will no doubt cause a distraction from.

But you could apply that logic to just about anything.

Let's not have the players train, incase they get injured as it's an important league title at steak.

Or let's not compete at all in next years Champions League incase a player get's tired.

I don't want to sound insulting, but it's a bit of a losers mentality. We are Rangers, the most successful team in the world and people have all sorts of ready made excuses for failure.

We have won trebles in the past with the distraction of Europe and we will again.

As BluePeter said last week, it's an elitist attitude sacrificing one competition for another.

And as I said myself, anyone clamming on about not wanting the Europa league - will be funny seeing you's all climb over yourself for tickets for Dublin, if it happens.

We're dealing with one of the smallest squads we've probably ever had.

Times have changed, that can't just be ignored.

I've heard half these excuses being trotted out long before this seasons squad got announced mate.

[G.E.C. 19,096]

To be honest I can't see us get further than the Quarter Final. There are so many hard teams in it.

Athletico Madrid, Liverpool, Man City, Sevilla, Porto, Zenit plus the drop outs from the Champions League.

Hope we give it a right go though!

[Clemdog 39,389]

if we were to make the quarters we would be very rich in points and cash.

Simply not true.

Rangers’ total earnings also dwarfed those of Fulham, the Europa League runners-up. It proves once again that, for all Uefa has tried to redesign its second club tournament as the Champions League’s little brother, it remains very much the poor relation.

Fulham earned just £8.2m (€10m) despite progressing all the way to the final, with each club in the competition picking up £490,000 (€600,000) for reaching the group phase, £245,000 (€300,000) for completing their six matches, and £98,000 (€120,000) for a win and £49,000 (€60,000) for each draw.

This article was about our 2009 CL in which we only got 2 points, even if we win the EL I doubt we'd double half of the money earned in the CL.

I am not saying that an extra million is lousy at all, it would be great, But we won't ve 'very rich'.

[NorthernLights 2,526]

I'm confident in the ability of Hutton, Little, Fleck, Foster, Broadfoot, Webster, etc. to step in during the "easier" games in the league. Not all of them at once, but a couple to fill in the gaps wouldn't concern me at all.

[WaltersGotStyle 160]

This topic still applies as I have read some negative comments in regards to Europa League over the past few days.

[Papa Sasac 164]

The Europe League COULD get in the way of our bread and butter, however, I would do anything to see us go on another Manchester run.

[MartinGers93 388]

Who cares we are in Europe still we are more than capable of doing something here it was shown 2 years ago be it we had a better team then but we still have a team who is capable of getting a draw at Old Trafford how many teams go there and do that

That could be disputed...

Not only the draw, they didnt score and we were unlucky to lose at home.

[MartinGers93 388]

It can be but that's just my opinion but you never know we are only have way through the season

[TravelingWilBEARy 4,319]

I remember these threads in the Manchester season - then the same people who were moaning about it were all clamouring for tickets for Manchester.
