We haven't got a clue what our best team is compared with more established challengers. That's the negative bit. We will make UEFA and with the money available next pre season can have a damn good time and win it next year. I'm happy with that. I think it will be the next step, really challenge for the UEFA, top 4 and domestic cups next year. Learn the talk, learn the walk and then run off with it. Slowly comes the revolution.
It is one of the worst suggestions I have ever heard on here that we would be better off in the UEFA, and clearly the board disagree with you, or Hughes would still be the manager.
You have to start to get that experience somewhere, look how long it took United, Liverpool, Arsenal to regularly be expected to reach the knock out stages - that only comes with the right experience in the squad and manager, so every bit of experience we can get is vital at this stage.
I would be happy to finish 3rd in the group stage for the experience and the wheelbarrow full of cash, and then you still get a run at the Europa league.
