EM needs us in the Prem.

He looses a fortune each year until we get into Prem.

No doubt in my mind that 100m a year prize is where his priorities lie

As opposed to what's a more likely cash injection for getting further in Europe?

Don't think it's anywhere near as straightforward as you suggest tbh.

 
European money isn't even close to Prem riches to the level they would get too.

Yes it is, might not be as much but the gulf isn't that huge and it's more likely for Oly to progress further than us get promoted.

No way are we his total priority. No way. He'll be looking at both clubs & doing what he thinks best for both.

To reach the knockout stages is less than a 10th the prize money of reaching the Prem. About 8m.

What do you think EM would sooner have, a likely 8m or adream of 80m which in 2 seasons & for us 20 years has been a million miles away?

Let's not forget they'll get more the further they get too.

Can't believe you're seriously suggesting that there's no money in Europe lol
