The squad is good enough to have a tilt at the Europa League and I think that will be our target this season.

That and getting back into the CL.

Winning the Europa League takes care of that.

I think he'll go all out for the Europa league too.

It does, but you can aim to get back in on 2 fronts...I was referring to the Prem

We'll have a much better chance to squeak through in the league, because the players we have are really good. I wouldn't like relying on the UEFA Cup because the good players we have don't turn up when it really matters in a single game.

I hope I'm wrong, but that audio of him snapping at the Talksport reporter and also the program notes, I have a feeling that Unai will leave at the end of the season.

For someone so calm and composed, to see him starting to get so frustrated with the PSR stuff, I fear he will end up leaving sooner rather than later. Especially when he said he wasn't here to waste his time.

Like I said hope I'm wrong.

I imagine it will take much, much more to walk away. And where would he go? He's had big jobs and it never seemed to sit well that wasn't allowed time to build them over time. PSG and Arsenal didn't afford him that and they wanted instant gratification. Not many clubs will essentially give him the keys to run things as he wants. The UEFA rules and domestic financial rules will apply wherever he would go.

Feel a bit better after reading that but he would have more room to move at a club with a higher revenue.

But hopefully all irrelevant anyway.
