This thread has depressed me.
People would really rather finish a couple of places higher up the league than win a major trophy just so you get entry into another competition that we're highly unlikely to win anyway?
I can remember having a sort of similar conversation sometime in the late 80's and we all agreed we would settle for City winning the FA Cup and going bust the next day.
Now we'd give it up for the sake of moving up a few places in the worlds richest clubs list.
If we want keep seeing world class players in our squad there is no other option than to play every year in the champions league. With out squad and the resources i am afraid champions league is the minimum from now on.
And who's to say that we wont win the CL in the near Future ?
