Option 3 hasn't been a thing for about 7 years.
Is that the case if an English team win the Europa League too?
Yup, then 5 teams qualify for champions league.
Which is a maximum of 5, therefore if Wolves or Utd win Europa League and and we won CL, then no CL place for 4th in League
I cant believe i explained myself out of being a smart alec. I've literally snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory for no reason. Loophole bastard.
Which sort of makes the initial question a bit silly
If qualifying for the CL would allow us to purchase the players that Jose needs during the summer transfer window then qualifying for the CL would be the ideal outcome. If it would have no discernable affect on our summer spending plans then I'd rather see us win the FA cup, which is a realistically achievable trophy. Obviously doing both would be fantastic but doing neither - well this has been a season of transition so whilst disappointing, it is not a massive surprise given our start to the season.I think we have no chance of winning CL this season, although obviously my ideal finish to the season would be a magical Jose win (like at Port or Inter)
I would like us to somehow win the race for fourth place, over take Chelsea (even Leicester somehow would be nice) and hold off Utd et el to secure another season of CL football next year
Failing that, I'd reluctantly settle for a FA cup win and Europa football next season
Anything less than those options (which is what I actually expect) is going to be a very, very disappointing season
