Why do we need to go without champions league? Leicester have shown you dont need a budget.....just a bloody good plan, and yes I agree our lack of faith outside the 1st 11 is shocking. Honestly I dont see why Chelsea even bother writing the names of 25 players for our squad list there are 7/8 who dont even make the bench....ever!
Yes we come back to youth....and again with this season a right off we arent even blooding them.
Lets bring Bamford back as he isnt getting play time........oh we need a striker.........so lets.........get lame duck and loan him back out to norwich who will just bench him!

We don’t need to go out the champions league. But would you sacrifice it for 3 years if you knew long term we’d be a champions league regular and our academy was a big reason for that?
well, have to say, Dropping out of Champions Lg? why?
but you'd be content with Europa and rebuild instead?
doesn't make much sense to me.
This whole CL is a distraction is a weak excuse.
This is a philosophy issue, and maybe you're right a change is needed there, but as far as having to drop out of C.L to do it, at this time is not smart business practices....
Sadly there is something inherently rotten at the core of the club. Not saying it's Roman but it's undoubtedly there.
There seem to be far too many yes men and people protecting their own necks at the inner sanctum of the club.
My pessimism doesn't even come from our current league position. It's everything else that depresses me including the short termist attitude, the constant favouring of the bigger names, the way we play football, the never playing youth in the League, the poor signings we've made in the last two windows. I could go on all day.
Overnight we've gone from Champions of England with everything seemingly on the up to an utter train wreck and that comes from the way the football club is run. Sadly I don't see it changing soon.

I'd like to see how Leicester get on with Mahrez & Vardy out injured...
"I would. We went from the end of 99/00 season to beginning of 03/04 season. That would have no fears from me from a fans’ point of view. I know you could argue the club not getting Champions League would be a financial disaster, but we’re not going to make it this coming season anyway. We might as well try something different. Particularly if the wallet is indeed closed."
We weren't any where near good enough to be in the CL then...we got in & stayed in by virtue of spending loads & getting the right players/Manager when Roman took over...
Also the CL is simply worth a fortune now, & not being in it makes us the same as Liverpool & $puds...Euromick fodder at best....which none of us wants

They may not win the league but they seem certain for a cl spot, and that was more my point. And even with out those key players - im certain both will be sold in the summer, they will do fine next season. Purely because they have a team and the right mentality.
Can't use Leicester as an example. This is a freak season for them the like we will probably never see in football again.
The better example would be Spurs. But they've achieved nothing with this new team yet. Could still miss out on the CL places
I think Man city have used their money in a wiser way than our club . In many ways i think they ve learnt from our model , but aren't making the same mistakes. I agree that its time to take Cfc to another level , but i have a gut feeling there are too many people in very important positions that dont have the vision or talent to do this. This year could be a chance for the club to develope As a sustainable one. Roman always seems absolutely ecstatic when younger players get a go .. So I believe he'd be happy to see us develope the academy and integrate these players. We are going to build a new stadium , we ve got so much going for our club ... A few years out of Cl dosnt bother me a bit if we are willing to find a more solid foundation.
A few years out of the CL...we'll be bankrupt and in administration....no one is bankrolling that project...
ridiculous argument for me...its the reason we try to win the league
