    Unless there is a decent investment made to the team between now and Monday then they can get to * for Europa league money

    Would love to draw Man Utd, a glamour tie plus I think that we could take points off them !! Then, give me the easiest group possible so we have a great chance of football after Christmas. Put Malmo in so we can get a bit of revenge on them. Would like to see something like this :

    Celtic
    Man Utd
    Malmo
    Dudelange

    In an ideal group I would take

    Basel
    Celtic
    Rosenborg
    Cluj

    We will get something like

    Arsenal
    Celtic
    Feyenoord
    LASK

    And you just know the huns will get an easy as * group with teams in turmoil again but hopefully send them to some “fan hotspots”

    Beşiktaş
    Krasnador
    Qarabag
    Sevco

    Interesting article about the co-efficient & prize money. Hopefully we get a good run in the EL and get some more points on the board - * playing 4 rounds every year.

    Don't know why anyone would dismiss the Europa league, it's still European football, where there is cash incentives. Earn money, get the team important European experience, increase coefficient (potential less qualifying rounds for CL), more level playing field, potential to gain access to CL through winning. I get the attraction of the Champions League, but we're inevitably praying for one very specific group in order to not be humiliated. At least in this competition there's a much more equal distribution of teams on the same level.

    Having said that, no interest of glamour ties for me, would rather the easiest group possible. Preferably no long journeys to places with mental fans and I'll be happy.

    I prefer us in the EL, just look at the group Slavia got in the CL. It is no fun watching us get trounced for 5 or 6 games, and then the prize money is never spent anyway, so what is the point?

    I know its currently our level but I just can't get excited about the europa league. I mean we are only in it because the fat * running the place has been so NEGLIGENT, we have played every CL qualifier without a first pick back 4 (with midfielders playing CB for a lot of they games) FOR 4 * SEASONS. We are ran by tories .... Enough said
