If we qualify for the CL, which way would you prefer?

Through the league or europa?

I think it will be both.

Top 4 and 3 trophies would set us up nicely to attack the two big ones next season in true Mourinho style.

I honestly don't think he'll be too ecstatic lifting the europa cup, all about cl qualification....

I just really want to win the Europa at this point tbh, then never, ever appear in the competition again

Win the Europa League and qualify for the CL at Liverpool's expense.

I'd say Europa but finishing 4th would likely push the dippers or city out of the top 4 so....


Both.

Europa. Silverware and beating the champions league winners in the super cup would be a great start to next season

not sure if true but i heard that if we won the europa but came 6th in the league then whoever finished 4th would lose their cl place.

Nah, only if Leicester win the CL.

so there could be 6 english teams in the cl? (if we won the europa and leic won the cl?)

You completely sure about that?

Both.....

But we've a long way and some tough teams still left in the Europa, feel Lyon would do us on the day, just hope that's the final and anything can happen...

Think we'll get top 4 and have done all season....

good times...

No, if Leicester win the CL and United the EL and we don't finish top 4, 4th drops out.

Leicester don't win CL, it'd be top 4 and us.

How finishing fourth in Premier League may not guarantee Champions League spot

The fourth-place team in the Premier League may drop into the Europa League if both Leicester and Manchester United lift silverware in Europe this season.

UEFA rules stipulate that each association can have a maximum of five clubs in the Champions League for the 2017/18 season, meaning if Leicester City win this season's competition and Manchester United win the Europa League, the fourth-place side will have to drop out, provided neither Leicester or Manchester United are not that fourth-place side.

Europa League.

A trophy.

The "full set" of European trophies.

Boiled piss because we've slyed into the CL.

What's not to like

The bit about us is irrelevant though, what we do doesn't affect the 4th placed team.

The 4 teams in the CL from England will either be the top 4 or the top 3 + Leicester if they win the CL.

If we win the Europa but finish outside the top 4, there'll be 5 teams in regardless.

Why not both?

Yes...

But okay. Would prefer the Europa if I could only have one. But we could have both. Or neither.
