We haven’t won the Europa Conference either. I think it's too hard for us to win the Carabao Cup and finish outside the top 5....

;-)

Aye neither have Chelsea Liverpool real madric etc but atleast if we win the club world cup we have basically won everything the rest of the so called big boys have lol.

I can't understand why any blue doesn't want us playing in final. Something we've never won that will add to our ever growing honours list if we win it. Bring it on!

Of course he does, it's another feather in his cap.

What I'm saying is that the prize money mentioned seems to be chicken feed for the tournament given it's supposed 'status'.

It's another Mickey Mouse trophy. I wouldn't even send the EDS under 18s personally, never mind risk our top players.

The PL and CL are infinitely more important.

Fortunately Pep will be choosing the squad and not you

its not just about the money on the day, we win this like we did the super cup and city along with Pep are yet again raising another piece of silverware which is splashed all over the back page's globally, nothing to you and me but Central and East Aisia and South America will suck it up and it gets the sponsors drooling, we will earn 20x what the competition is worth through marketing, were playing to a worldwide audience these days and have to adjust to the marketing values,so micky mouse? it certainly is not

Liverpool didn't make the back pages for more than a day or two when they won it.

Though it involves the world's 'top teams', competition-wise, it's still considered to be relatively unimportant trophy in the eyes of all but the fans of the clubs involved.

It's a shame It's a Knockout isn't going anymore. We didn't win that either.

But that’s only true in Europe. Everywhere else it is important and from 2025 you bet your life it will be important everywhere with 32 teams in it rather than just 7.

We need to stop winning things, get back to relegation battles and being really shit again. No argument then.
