I don't understand this theory to be honest. So, we don't want to be in Europe so we can have the best crack at the PL to make sure we get Europe next year?
We should have just embraced it, enjoyed it, shouldn't have ever feared it. This sort of thing isn't a regular occurrence for clubs like us, I hoped I'd see us make more of a fist of it as the likes of Boro, Fulham, Stoke and Swansea have done in the past.
Who knows when the next opportunity will come. This one was flaming 12 years and 2 relegation's in the waiting.
