Bit like Arsenal then, a money machine.

partly, but with the hope of actually winning the European Cup, which is how you "win" football, it's the only tournament that matters, you can't win it if you are not in it
I'd take not seeing us lift another FA cup for just one league title.

I'd rather win the EL than take part in the CL. Just as we get good enough to win the EL, we qualify for the CL.

If my son wins a cup in youth football, I'll say "son, that trophy ain't worth brick, galeforce said so"!
Youth trophies are worth less than brick.

ha ha, well played
my comment was merely in reference to clubs in the professional european system
as Henry Cooper so saliently pointed out "the amateur game is the amateur game", which I think, speaks volumes

nah, winning the European Trophy is the whole point, thats the end game, thats what we need the money for
well, to be specific, when football ends, the point is to be the organisation which won it the most times, and you don't need to win the PL to win the CL, don't get me wrong, it would be lovely, but its the cherry not the cake

We're already in the PL. I don't think winning it pays that much more. What we want is CL on top. Added exposure means bigger sponsorship deals. It also takes money away from another club.
It's what the tv companies pay you for use of stadium infrastructure. Ours is obviously brick, so they have to bring their own cables and stuff.

I agree.

The EL winners place would not be used. The team from the highest ranking country which would otherwise enter in the previous qualifying round is moved up to fill the space.

Hopefully we're building a big trophy cabinet in the new stadium, so we can ram it full of money.

True. But I would rather take part in the CL than take part in the EL. And I would rather see us as CL regulars than EL regulars as I think the former will see us with more titles overall.
And with the CL you have the finish third in the group and get into the EL option
Always a popular one...
