I hope we don't get Europe next year. There, I've Said it!

We're where we are due to other teams not performing coupled with our own stubbornness to be defeated or give up hope of a win(which is great to see, I may add, and long may it continue). But we don't have the quality or, more importantly, the squad to compete in Europe as well as Domestic competitions. Even with the added lure of europe - do you still think this will change our scatterbrain transfer approach. Decent strikers will still be hard to come by. FFP will still be an issue. Benteke will still be on the books.

I don’t think it will a concern.

I do want to see us play a decent team in Europe. I fully get the logic of why it might backfire but i think football is about our right to dream.

Isn't there traditionally one team that plummets from the top, then tries to arrest their slide before the Relegation Zone?

Looking like we're climbing the steps of that slide right now. Hopefully we'll get to The top, and politely decline like the kid with Vertigo, and slowly descend the Steps stopping halfway thinking 'Next time' I'll go all the way...

Agreed. Logically, I don't want us to get in, but from an emotional perspective, I think it would be tons of fun to watch and possibly go to some new destinations. Palace supporters in Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, etc. would be amazing.

If we got into europe, we would have to field youth teams for the league cup and FA cup, it be too much having 3 other cups net to a league campaign - we saw how wolves and burnley, even leicester faired on their travels and our euro adventure would have to be respected, naturally but not viewed as anything other than friendlies - we are not winning it. We couldn't take it seriously as our squad is no where near good enough.

If i were in charge and we got to europe, i would seriously consider making it almost free for palace fans to get tickets - as a treat. That way if it's a write off, the fans cant feel hard done by.
