Would a year in the Europa league be a bad thing? Even though he plays for "them", look what the competition and decent game time did for Kane.
We have several youngsters who could become decent players but cannot get the right amount of game time - (Bellerin, Campbell, Akpom, Coquelin even fringe players like Podolski and Rosicky would benefit!)
A year to focus on the League whilst playing the youngsters in Europe may be a blessing is disguise!

best bet would be to miss out on Europe altogether.
Playing Europa lge on Thursday & then a league game on Sunday is long.
We've seen teams like Pool & Utd prosper without the distractions of Europe.
We'll also have less injuries and with only 1 game per week, we might actually be able to work on our deficiencies in training

YES.
Our business model requires on us getting top four, we would NOT be able to do what Utd did this season and still spend big despite not having CL.
If we drop out chances are we'll end up like the Scousers.

if anyone thinks missing out on the champions league is a good thing then they're an idiot.

I am fed up with AW and his strategies.

yup digby don't see any positives, less money, top players won't want to come and the likes of Kos might want to leave.

not sure it would be a positive to be out the CL or indeed out of Europe altogether....
its a sickner every year to get beat by a Barca etc, but its a decent ride whilst it lasts.
I would not be too worried about a season in the europa league as A) the winner Q's for the CL and B) many of our youth and fringe players would get games.
but ultimately you want your club to be facing the cream of Europe and not watching other teams play whilst having a nice midweek break.

Wenger would play a 2nd string in the Europa League anyway.

No, the Europa League would be a disaster for us.
Thursday night football before the weekend league games is awful, we would lose a lot of money that we could spend on players, top players will be even less interested in coming to us - the morale of the team in playing in such a shlt losers tournament would be affected.
Other than that it would be great...
