Leicester, Manchester x 2, liverpool and Chelsea are the only teams who have a chance of top 4 imo. West ham will drop off as the season goes on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'll have to give him one and it's a good chance to do so with no fans complaining about the "west ham way". Not that there really are any proper fans in the free, atmosphere-less stadium they have, more tourists and passers by. As far as I remember Moyes is not on a long term deal. Gold and Sullivan are just using West Ham to make money, if moyes can get them 10th every year they'll keep him for as long as they can.

Spoony Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Really hurts watching these types of teams in Europe. Not once in my life have I seen Villa in Europe other than watching O’Neill blow it in the qualifiers. sigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Shame David Moyes didnt have more self respect after they got rid of him the first time for Pellegrini. To be perfectly honest though, the Europa League doesnt interest me in the slightest. The old format UEFA Cup? Sure, that was brilliant and Id love it if they reverted back to that but they wont. Group stages against wifi passwords is just too disruptive to league form, and would be detrimental to a club like ours league season. Sure its fun and exciting when you start getting towards the quarter finals, but id want top 4 or nothing at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Too many tinpot clubs in Europa League for me to take any interest in it. Semi finals and onwards I might watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love nothing more to play Beirut all stars under the floods after work.

You not gonna get from midtable straight into Champions League places. If you ever want to see us in CL, few seasons of Europa League are unavoidable and necessary. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not all, coefficients are more evil than this. You get extra money for hight coefficient. Let me give you example: Aston Villa (zero coefficient) and Chelsea (one of the highest coefficients) qualify for champions league this season. They both have exactly the same results, let's say 6 losses in group stage. Prize money - Chelsea gets €30m more than Villa. It sucks, but that's the way it is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea don't qualify for the CL, they will still earn through a 10 year coefficient share. The share pot amount is the same as the fixed rewards. In short, the chances are Chelsea would earn similar than West Ham, villa etc if they qualified (and went out in the group stage) and Chelsea didn't even qualify at all!

I think this year's top 4 is probably the easiest to predict: Chelsea, City, United and Liverpool. I also think that is the order they will finish in.

A few key injuries and they would struggle to pick up the points they are currently picking up. I expect that next summer if they cash in on Rice too which will hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
