Aye then lose out due to the cheating bastards getting historic placings. Just out of interest, if a team qualifies for CL through co-efficient rankings then I hope they don't get points for the season they qualify through that route.
The fact they got and convinced Bruno, who by all accounts looks like a ****ng world-beater, says all you need to know about the future. All this "it won't be the revolution people think" is clearly a load of rollocks. Sure, Howe could well caveat that statement by saying "see? I told you we wouldn't sign Mbappe, Haaland and Bellingham" but I think we'll end up with all our Xmas' at once. My view is this - they will not ever be held ransom for a player, so we won't be paying extravagant fees or exorbitant amounts, a la Man U/Chelsea, for big names. Instead, if we want a player and it's within the value we put on them, we'll buy them. The difference is I don't think we'll be limited, so if all five I mentioned are available and keen at the right prices, we'll buy them all. If more become available for the right price and are keen, we'll keep buying, until the squad feels right. I think we'll end up near £150m spent this Summer. I think once the bug hits, it'll go mad. Jamie Reuben's going to be up for it, we know Staveley is.
In going balls deep with it now... I was holding back but it's time to start accepting nufc is the next galacticos
They've changed the rules or are in process of changing the rules, so if a team finishes 4th ahead of say Man Utd. Man Utd would get in ahead of them due to historic appearances.
It's small margins, and you're right. We'll also have the element of surprise, because a Summer of working with competent coaches means many won't know what we're like to do.
It's still **** mate. Its the very essence of what is wrong with the sporting integrity of all these competitions with the seeding and keeping teams from same country apart bollox.
I think the top 4 get in as standard and then they are extra places for historical performance. So for example if we got 4th and Man Utd got 5th both would qualify.
Imagine the makems I mean my ****ing god this is literally the worst thing that could ever have happened in their lives and it has
It's a 36 team table or something mad, top 12 automatically qualify and down to 24th go into play-offs. But not everyone plays each other obviously.
Nah, we shouldn't. It was a **** idea back then and just because we've now found Uncle Scrooge's gold vault doesn't change the fact. It's a stupid ****ing American idea with stupid ****ing American business owners behind it.
