I personally don't think we'll make the Champions League spots, if we do it will be absurd, though brilliant, after pre-season predictions in the media had us as relegation fodder, but if we do make them, one would hope the club take it seriously and think about the extra revenue we'll get with the vision of keeping our best players on more money.
It's a fine line though. We don't want to be splurging money on bigger wages, only for the Champions League outing to be for one season, and find we are paying a lot of money for players the following season with no added CL income. Do that and we could do a Leeds. I wonder what might happen to Liverpool long term too...
