The extra spot for CL was based on this season only, what Spurs did three seasons ago had no bearing. The only way Italy can have 6 teams in CL is if one of them wins Europa and finished outside top 5. The coefficient is calculated across the last few seasons, not this season alone. If spurs had done better in the first conference league and not got knocked out early the coefficient would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthEastVillan Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Am I right in thinking the Brighton game will have to be moved for the semi finals? What about Liverpool will that just remain as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I want CL based on getting 4th. I don't want the accusation to be of us getting lucky and 5th. And England not getting 5th place for CL will contribute towards Spurs (probably) having less money next year with CL football, which will hurt them. It will also likely mean that one of Man U, Newcastle and Chelsea won't have European football next year, which will hurt them (but maybe help with fixtures too). PSR is starting to bite, so these clubs will be affected by the income loss, albeit less so than we'd hope. I want to win the UECL for a trophy, the prestige, a bit of cash, and the UEFA ranking points (these will help in the coming years with seeding). All of the above would underline the genius of Emery, and that we are seriously on the up. This will help attract players and sponsors. So providing we can get the points for 4th - this week has been perfect! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got an extra 30 hours to recover from the SF (although I think we'll be far more comfortable in this one as Olympiakos aren't as good as Lille imo). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okonokos Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Does anyone know the difference in prize money between qualifying for the Champions League vs Europa League? How would we look for FFP this summer for both scenarios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, I hope we shit on the Klopp farewell parade on MNF, would be glorious. Imagine an Emery mastercalss to secure us 4th on Klopp's final away game, who no doubt the buildup will be all about.

The winner of the Conference League only gets 2 million less than getting into the group stage of the CL (this year, not sure next year as it's expanded). Obviously going deep in the CL is massive money. As per below, it's now vital we qualify for the CL group stages, or go deep into the Europa / UECL each season to maintain an extra 15-20 million. That's just prize money. Add in at least 1,500,000 for each home game. Edited April 19 by pas5898 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because their game in hand is against Chelsea who are also playing in the FA Cup, and even if they weren't would have been playing Brighton this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I’m not worried about Tottenham’s extra rest, it doesn’t always guarantee success in the first match back. How many times have we seen teams’ form drop off after an international break, for example. Like Emery has said, he prefers us to play twice a week as it keeps the intensity up and we can implement changes quickly. Villa are in good form right now, I’d rather play Bournemouth while we are still buzzing than have a week off to potentially go off the boil. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
