Not sure if it’s been mentioned but it’s looking like there will be 5 English teams playing in the Champions League from 2024/25 onwards.

I’ve seen a few people mention us trying to crack the top 4 next season but in reality top 5 should be enough, and obviously feels more achievable.



Right now I wouldn’t rule out top 1
This is where I am too.

We’re winning a trophy within the next 2-3 years, I’m absolutely convinced of it.

I'm probably tempting fate I know.

The Europa Conference League 23/24 kicks off on 13th July with the first qualifying round. We would not be starting until the play off round for the group stage on 7th August.
If we want a local derby, then cheer on Connahs Quay Nomads, Penybont, and Haverfordwest County to perform heroics to reach our stage.
Notable teams already qualified include Club Brugge, Gent, Hadjuk Split, Legia Warsaw, and Dinamo Minsk.
Others will follow as domestic leagues conclude and there will also be teams who haven't quite done enough dropping down from the Champions League and Europa League.
Quite a few teams from Ireland including St Patricks Athletic. If we cross paths with them, I expect God to be guest of honour at both legs and if I had my way he would take the kick off too !

Ridiculous. The name of the competition changed to Champions League when it pretty much ceased to be a league for champions. So stupid.

Anyway it's about time we were one of the clubs to take advantage of UEFA handing extra places out for this stupid competition.

I'm assuming this is why we haven't announced a pre-season friendly for w/e of 5 August.
