I think the next round is the earliest that two clubs from the same country can face each other.When's the earliest we can face them? I'd play them sooner rather than later.
Doesn't the vast majority of income from Europe come from the TV companies?...we might make more in gate receipts but thats not the full story.I suspect on Thursday we will have broken the record for a UEFA attendance to go with our CL one earlier in the year.
Last time I looked there didn't look like more than a few thousand seats left.
If we could get to the latter stages we'd be selling out Wembley at full price and could make more money from a combined CL/Europa run than we ever would have in the CL (assuming we would have never made it past the quarter finals).
Would make for an interesting future 'business' decision if the benefits of dropping into the Europa outweighed staying in the CL.
More money, more chance of winning, able to rotate players, same end result, ie, a trophy and a CL place.
