On the other hand, we might never get this chance again given our recent history. As SM pointed out the "well run" teams like Brighton, Brentford etc haven't even qualified. We've beaten Porto, drew with Betis, aside from Villa.we could legitimately have a proper run.
Would relegation and winning europa be better than 17th?
Fwiw, I think go all in on Europa and see what happens but I understand the opposite sentiment.
Mate Im gutted that we have thrown away what should have been a joyous season. Truth is on the evidence available we aren’t going to win the Europa or even get close to doing so. I think Fenerbahce will beat us comfortably unfortunately and we will be free to concentrate on our relegation battle.
