That’s just not true in the slightest!

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve said myself this season that to join the smaller elite club of winning three English First Division league titles in a row is something I want more than our first Champions League trophy.

However, I really want that Champions League trophy at some point soon as well and in any normal season (where it’s not the chance to do three Prems in a row), it’s:

Premier League….Champions League





FA Cup


EFL Cup





Community Shield.

And I do care about the Community Shield!

I'll never accept the CL as a proper competition. It's a contrived cash cow designed specifically to benefit 'select' clubs. The inclusion of clubs that aren't champions of their own national league is UEFA pandering to the likes of the rags, Milan clubs, Barcelona, etc.
The simple fact that you can come fourth in your domestic league and second in the CL group, and be 'Champions" of all Europe, is risible.

The European Cup was a proper competition. A genuine knockout competition. The CL pales in comparison. I'd rather win the Carabao Cup.

It’s still far more of an elite competition than the carabao cup, or the fa cup, and harder to win than the league.

I agree to some extent that going back to that format would be ideal, but they’re going the opposite direction because money talks and that means more fixtures.

You still have to be the best to win, perform better than everyone else, and as with all of football, a sprinkling of luck

Biggest crock of shit I've ever read. A cup that has defined great teams for over half a century, that garners recognition from peers across the continent and in every league, isn't worth winning? Jesus wept.

It was a great competition when it was the European Cup and limited to genuine Champions.

UEFA killed the credibility of the tournament when they allowed non-champions to enter.

It's a plastic tournament aimed at extracting cash from gullible football tourists.
 
Pep to stay, as I don't think we'd win the league for a couple of years if he was to leave at the end of this particular season

Squad needs a bit of an overhaul and that along with a new manager won't be pretty

That aside, I'd probably rather Pep stays and we continue to dominate domestically

You can claim most comps these days are money driven
 
What an easy choice to make.
And what a load of shite posted on here.

Btw this question smells like the arrogant lazy spoiled fan that Pep is pointing at. I can happily say I lived through the bad years to appreciate everything that has been achieved since Mansour took over. And that has nothing to do being a happy clapper. Seeing both sides ( no succes and humiliation to succes and envy from opposing fans ) made me and the ones who recognise this, a better fan. Yes I’ve said it.
