Yeah. Long way to go yet. But it's quite possible.Prestwich - No worse than City really.
The current ranking points don't include any to be picked up this season. Get out of the group, and both will probably be OK for pot 2. MU are only 6 pts off 16th now, and that will probably do.
Not only that if Italian sides do well in europe this year will mean only 3 CL places for english sides next yearJust looking at the UEFA coefficients and unless they do something spectacular in the CL this season, they could easily be in Pot 3 next season.
Assuming that one of Barca or Real wins La Liga, Bayern win the Bundesliga, PSG win La Ligue and one of us, Arsenal or Chelsea wins the PL. That means one of Barca or Real will be in Pot 2 along with two English clubs, plus probably Atletico Madrid, Dortmund & Valencia and one of Benfica or Porto. If Juve don't win Serie A then that's 8 teams with higher coefficients than them as things stand. If Zenit don't win the Russian league then they have a higher co-efficient as do Napoli & Sevilla.
No easy pickings from that lot.
looking at the current coefficients if the rags dont get out of the group could well be in pot 3Yeah. Long way to go yet. But it's quite possible.
Maybe that's because he was their CEO on September 1st 2008 and had been talking about the signing of Berbatov on that day.

Horrific injury to Shaw. Absolutely sickening.
Get well soon, kid
Isnt Gill supposed to be impartial considering the role he has ?
Manchester City will never be as big as United in Asia and certain markets across the globe.
That’s according to former United chief executive David Gill, who was speaking during an event to celebrate 500 years of Manchester Grammar School.
When asked about the recent rise of City, Gill said: “I’m not being arrogant here but it (Manchester City) will never be as big as Manchester United in Asia and certain markets.
“Look at Liverpool, the club haven’t won the league for so many years, but they are very popular in Asia.
"The big teams with history and heritage, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus and Real Madrid, have that.”
Nice to see the Glazers are going to be taking nearly £16m out of the club, annually, as a share dividend!
"This is rubbing salt into the wound," said Manchester United Supporters' Trust vice-chairman Sean Bones.
"Profits from the club should go back into it."
It's like they just don't get it. THIS is why the Glazers bought United, to screw them for every penny they could. They're not here as benevolent owners, or to improve United, they're here to make money.
That's what always makes me smile when Man U fans churn out the 'when the sheik gets bored' line or 'when the oil runs out'. The Glazers (and FSG) are in this game purely for the money, every decision they make is based on a 'what will give the best financial return''. They'll both be long gone before the sheik gets bored or the oil runs out.
Maybe I've missed something, but has Luke Shaw said he wants people to feel sorry for him?

MUST are not FCUM. They are the Supporters Trust and they knew exactly what the Glazers' takeover meant for the club. There used to be a fair bit of antipathy between the two groups as well. FCUM have this holier than thou attitude. Like their real rag counterparts, they think they re-invented football.they are misguided in the extreme - the Glasers borrowed money to buy a business to make them, the Glasers, money. That's how they operate in the US and to be frank how they have operated at the swamp since they took over.
"Biggest club in Asia. Second team in Manchester." This should be our response to any giddiness from our rag friends.Over on Rag Cafe a few were getting quite giddy at the possibility of overtaking Real Madrid on turnover when next year's accounts come out.Their mood darkened when it was suggested we might overtake them when we announce this year's figures!
Yep, and he also said something about the orphans of veterans being scum of the earth and then he tweeted a link to Charlton Heston taking a spear to the side in El Cid, commenting 'bloody Muslims at it again'.Maybe I've missed something, but has Luke Shaw said he wants people to feel sorry for him?
"Biggest club in Asia. Only team in Trafford." This should be our response to any giddiness from our rag friends.
