How is it horrific? Part of the prize for winning the Europa League is entering the Champions League. Domestic league placing is irrelevant. Same as FA Cup winners earning a Europa League place. As Wigan did in 2013...when they were relegated from the Premier League.
There will probably be 9 clubs in European competitions next season - almost half the league. The ‘achievement’ of European qualification has been totally diminished
I think that’s a good thing for us. The more fronts these teams fight on the greater our chance of catching them on an off day? We are gonna need every advantage possible
That’s possibly true. The flip side is these sides will have more money to spend as a result of being in Europe so will probably buy more/better players

We’ve been to Florence, Madrid & Munich. Don’t begrudge them a trip to Astana, Minsk & Cluj
