Just reading the Caf thread on whether or not they want to be playing in Europe next season. Some saying they'd rather miss out altogether than play in the Conference League, with others saying it's a chance to give fringe players a run and win something "Let's face it, we should be winning the Conference League" is a quote used a few times so it'd be funny as fuck if they got eliminated by the Albanian Super League 3rd placed team in the QF's.
What none of them have realised is that if they're in the ECL, season ticket holders will still be forced to buy tickets, even though many won't bother going. ut if they're not in Europe at all, then there's no matchday revenue for European games, which probably brings in £35-40m minimum, even in the Europa League.
So if by some chance they do miss out on Europe completely then they'll probably be down around £120m on what they'd get from being in the CL.
