    This squad isn't good enough for the Europa either I wouldn't back the current forward line in the Intertoto cup

    If we bring in two forwards, I think we can get to the knockouts (and further) in the Europa

    That is the biggest issue with the squad. There’s other issues, but the forward line is by far the biggest.

    It baffles me that we didn't at the bare minimum back/invest in the squad to be Europa league ready by the end of first week of August.
    It was the worst case scenario, yet our squad would actually struggle even in the conference right now.

    Of course we have a bigger fan base but it’s national broadcasters that pay the tv money uefa will be happy that Almaty went through because we are a shared broadcaster theirs already 6 teams in from our region

    To be fair Europa League draw can arguably be as or more exciting for the teams you be matched up with.

    Needs to be a minimum quarter or semi final to appease the disaster of last night

    Was looking g at the number probs not correct as no real data for new format but looks like we need a Europa run to semi to make close to what we did last year in champions league


    We get close to 5 m for dropping out at play off
    If we got semi that’s 8 home games in Europe if you include our cl playoff game 18-19 m close estimate on ticket sales
    If we get 6 wins 630 k a win would be close to 4m
    Old format
    Was 1.2 m for last 16

    2.8 m for quarters
    4.6 m for semi

    Don’t know what the coeff / legacy payment is
    Also what you get for where you finish in the league format

    What's even more annoying is that if we actually spent and got close to the level of last season. We could do some damage in this years EL as it is absolutely pathetic teams in it this year.

    Now we are just one of the pathetic teams.

    I agree. If we're not spending any of it, does it matter how much we bring into the club?

    We say that but if it doesn’t come in even less investment happens

    Stop downplaying the tournament. This is probably the most prestigious cup. A cup nobody knows who will win. No the real Madrid cup. Mon the europa!!

    Oh well.

    I'm tired of chatting about money and how much we have etc. Means * all to us as a fanbase.

    We have an owner worth 3bn. Shareholders worth * knows how much. We shouldn't need £20-40m in order to allow for money to be spent. Never mind the fact we have near 100m in the bank at the moment.

    An owner who doesn't put his own money in.

    I personally live in hope pif or quatar come in because the reality is we have slack non existent financial fair play rules in Scotland

    You see how much psr rules are strangling Saudis at Newcastle they need to sell before they can spend anything that take them to another level
