I don't think Conference League really has any impact financially, it's worth buttons. As is the Europa League to a degree.I don't think qualifying for either of these would really have any impact on need to buy and sell. The difference between being in, and doing well in, the CL as we have done this year, and not being in it, is absolutely huge. Tens of millions.

A quick Google suggests Spurs have got around £15m from their run to the semi-finals, and winning it means their total amount gained will be around £25m.

Tens of millions.The Conference League is bad for us, because it requires us to have a big squad to complete the fixtures without generating the revenue to pay for them. And that's without considering the incovenience it causes in terms of having to travel to the middle of nowhere on a Thursday, and potentiallymessing with our Premier League fixtures and our energy levels when playing in them.The Europa League is winnable for us - especially if we can maintain or improve on our current squad, and the prize for winning it is extremely valuable.

Surely, no European football can be BAD for the club?
🚨 Morgan Rogers keep attracting interest from several big clubs after excellent season.Liverpool and Chelsea have been both monitoring him, considered as a top winger… but Aston Villa absolutely want to keep Rogers.
Rogers might be a tap in for young player of the year. I'm struggling to think of any young players who've tore up trees this season. Delap got a few goals for a struggling side, Dibbling got hyped but didn't impact any games. Amad looked good before his injury. Palmer and saka havn't done much.
