    It was tongue-in-cheek.

    Looking into it though, it's quite a challenging group. Lazio are obviously a difficult team but Rennes are top of ligue 1, are unbeaten and beat PSG already. Cluj are unbeaten this season domestically and already papped us out of the CL.

    You do get TV money, the UK's the last time they disclosed was about €40million in 2017/18 and Scotish teams get 10% of that so it will be about €4million, we also get 60% of it as we finished above the huns.

    Plus you get coefficient ranking money of like €72k per place up the 10 year rankings we're 14th off the top so will get about €2.5million, huns are about 10th off the bottom so will only get about €720k.

    over 50% of the huns coefficient comes from the 2010/11 season as well 12 of their 22.75 points so they will plummmet even lower next season meaning if they reach the EL Group Stage next season they will probably only £200-300k. If the huns actually had the coefficient ranking they'll be on next season they'd be ranked 48th out of 48 in the EL and only get €72k.

    Quite happy with that draw. I fully expect us to pump cluj this time. Which will be bitter sweet for obvious reasons.

    They were the lowest seeds in it, they shouldn't cause us much bother.

    After the events of 2 weeks ago its Mental how I'm looking at Cluj and thinking "6 points there, easy". Never learn.

    Love that draw; a new team, a decent side from a decent league and our quick shot at early redemption.

    Cracking atmosphere at all 3.

    I don't imagine it will be too difficult to squeeze Moritz and Forster into the 23 man squad. You've got Luca O'Connell, Eboue, Hayes, Hendry, Shved and Sinclair who can all make way. Unless he wants to drop Bain or Gordon out of the squad as Mullen and Hazard qualify without using up a slot. Ideally we'd bring in another 1 or 2 players too

    Interesting draw. At first glance I wouldn't expect us to qualify, but you never know.

    Looks like a champions league group, we should just play the CL music anyway

    Decent group. Cannot wait to put Cluj back in their place!

    Think we can and will take 6 points from Cluj, 3-4 points from Rennes and hopefully 2 points from Lazio. Need to be at be at our best every game for that return mind.

    Big ask but possible. It's the first time I looked at a group and thought. We could potentially top this one.

    Hard group. Guess it depends how the teams go in the becoming months as opposed to where they stand at the moment.
