Could we not get 3rd just by scudding Ajax big timeWhere are we getting the point minimum to give us a chance going into the last match?

I agree with so many of your points. Right now I don’t think we are an even good Europa League outfit, our form and approach is quite baffling. Europa League standard is hard to judge right now, but honestly don’t believe we have the same quality or belief we carried v Dortmund, Braga or Leipzig last season.Far too sensible.
Said to my mates in a group chat earlier, the reality is, we are a very good Europa League team.
Ajax are a good CL team.
Ajax just took a 6-1 pasting at home.
Ajax are selling guys at £70-80m. They’re taking our best players off us for £20m.
Like it or not, these clubs are levels above us.
We’ve had two first halves where we shat it and got pumped, but ultimately, we’re like a good under 15 team going up against an elite under 21 team in this competition.
We need to be in the CL group stages regularly to get the income to improve our team, and we probably need another 3/4 years of this with the sustained income to do that.
I very much doubt if this team is capable of a quarter or semi final EL runYip
Wish we were in the Europa.
Wonder what the diffrence in money is getting pumped in the champions league group stages to going on a run in the Europa.
I certainly hope so. Faint was probably the wrong word, see what this thread is doing to me.We have more than a faint chance, there is only 2 points in it ffs
Yes, we’re looking like we could best Ajax 5-0 right now!Could we not get 3rd just by scudding Ajax big time
If we had won the EL or the SPL we could have got a more favourable CL drawIts an absolutely rotten dilemma.
Take the money and a battering on the pitch or have some great nights in the EL with a drop to Conference at worst but far less money.
The draw wasn't kind to us for the CL either. Ajax, Liverpool, Napoli one of the worst draws we could get.
Why have you not been banned yet?I honestly feel that’s the plan here by the club. Delighted to get the finances. Not really that fussed about the results.
The League is our priority.
Oh ye of little faith.Yes, we’re looking like we could best Ajax 5-0 right now!
We’ll be lucky to get a single goal in the tournament,
Have some respect for the person that was a great player and is a decent fella.Hows he not? He regularly plays defensive midfields at home to the likes of Ross County etc, been battered off every half decent team we’ve faced this season. Two 4-0 thrashings of the papes in a calendar year, need I go on?
And tbh it’s right, especially after the group we got. We aren’t expected to do anything this season in UCL, it’ll be next season when we reinvest and see us make a go of itI honestly feel that’s the plan here by the club. Delighted to get the finances. Not really that fussed about the results.

Hopefully you have gone to bed to sleep it off.We’re no goni win the league under GVB so that can’t be the plan. The most uninspiring boring timid wee shitebag manager of all time.
Let's see the step being too far in the league then. If we're getting slapped about in the CL because of funding gaps, and quality gaps, we should be similarly slapping about the absolute sausages we play against in the SPFL, due to funding gaps and quality gaps. But most of the time we huff and puff.Look at our team value versus anyone in our group, even in the Europa, we punched above our weight but this is a step too far.
Haven't we won 3 games by 4 goals so far?Let's see the step being too far in the league then.

But most of the time we huff and puff.
Can't have it both ways.
We've also toiled against teams full of players who'd be tilers and plumber's if they weren't playing. If we're claiming quality gaps between us and Liverpool, we should be annihilating every team bar the crash barriers in our league. Every one.Haven't we won 3 games by 4 goals so far?
Good for you, not feckin funny at all.Oh it was a joke, excuse me for not laughing
Coul be kinda correct in a way, would we have got that kind of money for Bassey without his Euro performances?We'll have made more money from last season in Europe than this season IMO.
What would any player do if they weren't playing football ?We've also toiled against teams full of players who'd be tilers and plumber's if they weren't playing.

Just saying they get paid about as much to play football as they would plumbing or tiling. We should be slaughtering them weekly, given the financial chasm between us and them.What would any player do if they weren't playing football ?
So just for the benefit of those of us who let these clowns rule our life’s, how do you rise above the disappointment and be so philosophical.I honestly feel that’s the plan here by the club. Delighted to get the finances. Not really that fussed about the results.

They have won 1 actual knockout match in about 20 years mate.We will finish bottom of our group. Celtic will finish 3rd and progress 2 rounds in the Europa.
We win the league and go straight into CL next season, while Celtic flop in the qualifiers
The fact we are not CL level when in a group that contains Liverpool, current Italian league leaders and Dutch champions seems to be a new revelation to some
Strange indeed
I’d fancy us in a group that consists Shaktar and Leipzig to at least get 3rd spot, our group is tough, that’s the way it goes at times
Was always going to be about banking the cash, whatever the amount is, and hoping to nick a point here and there
Disappointment yes but it’s where we are unfortunately
We could have spent a further £10m and still been in same place sadly
This level is too much for us, we needed luck with the draw that we didn’t get
well it sure as hell isn’t about getting out of the group anymore is it.
