    Assuming the top four requirement is purely based on gaining CL footy,
    Would limping to fifth and a EL win be acceptable?

    Suppose it means trophy with more mainland European prestige and CL quaplification after pre qualification to attract the players plus CL money?

    Is it likely if we are limping along in the league..or maybe that's why we are limping, midweek EL lol

    I pointed this out last year and will point it out again. No player who want's Cl football will base a long term move/contract on one random qualification, they will be looking at teams that regularly qualify and can "almost" guarantee CL football.

    Or they may feel their introduction would make that difference and therefore contribute to the achievement? Nah, I'm not buying it either <laugh>

    Like them this year you mean. If we qualified and replaced them, their record would be 1 in 3

    Yep, I was going to add that but didn't want to make it a comment that seemed aimed at Liverpool. It would also be the case that if United failed to qualify this season it would be two out of three and players may think twice.

    For some reason players don't seem to have enough confidence in their own ability to think this way <laugh>

    Has to win a trophy to stay.... FAC, EL or "4th place trophy" must be achieved this year... if we don't win any of those then can't see the owners giving him another year.

    Yes... EL win and 6th would be acceptable.

    EL comes above any other comp we are playing in (bar the Prem but we aren't winning it lets be honest) and way above 4th/3rd or 2nd in the Prem.

    Trophy beats any league position rather other than 1st... (who remembers 2nd place and all that) <ok>

    I'd rather win the EL and finish sixth than win nothing and finish second, third or fourth UNLESS the latter included the chance of winning the PL in the final couple of game.

    However, I'd take exciting football over all of it.

    Think he is talking from a supporters pov, you know, something to cheer and be proud of and to say you are the holders of for at least 12 months.
