Should be trying to hijack that one. We might struggle to compete with PSV etc in the transfer market, but we should be able to beat AZ to players.

If that’s true that would dwarf any money we lose from the sheep getting through. The WCC is based on our personal coefficient, not Country. That is the one silver lining from last night. We "should" be able to pick up more coefficient point is EL than CL. Obviously best case was 3rd in CL and EL knockout. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully means the tickets won’t be as expensive due to no real ‘glamour’ tie now. Paid £90 for group stage package at West Ham for a decent band 3 ( out of 6) seat. Probably comparable to that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah turns out that was a pile of shite. We aint going to the WCC. The papers ran with some story about how we would qualify before Fifa actually confirmed how the remaining teams would be picked. Places will no doubt go to some random world team who just happens to be based in Saudi and definitely dont buy their way in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Places will no doubt go to some random world team who just happens to be based in Saudi and definitely dont buy their way in. The Saudi thing can't happen, 12 of the places have already been allocated to Europe. FIFA have made is clear they want a wide scope of countries represented. They don't want the 12 European clubs to be 4 English. 4 Spanish and 4 German for example. The current view is CL winners over previous 4 years, so that is last 3 plus this year. The other 8 being the best 8 teams based on their coefficient but importantly no country having more than 1 club, unless they have a CL winner. That is how it filters down to us as the final place. I will agree that UEFA have said their final process has not been ratified, but if they want to meet FIFA's goal they have very little scope to change. It is the same way a FIFA want a wide coverage for the WC hence it is not the best 32 countries that are actually there. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably comparable to that Cant see it being that cheap. Was it not about £150 last year for CL. Probably nearer £120. English clubs can afford to price cheaper as they are less reliant on gate receipts due to the massive sky revenues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
