Jamboross Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Tom Hardy’s Dug said: I’m just looking at our progress and what gives us the best platform to make the most money to invest in the team next summer as well. Like it or not that is the Conference. And it’s nothing like saying you’d prefer the Championship. £420k a win in the Conference or £460k a win in Europa. The more games we win the stronger we get next season. The chances of us winning games increases quite a bit in the Conference. It’s also hardly some tin pot competition either. Arguably the semis for the Conference this season had better teams than the Europa. Of course I will want us to win our play off. That doesn’t negate the fact that we are likely to do financially better in the Conference. That's just not true though. Unless we actually amass enough points to qualify out of our Conference group and get the money for points + qualification (not impossible with a kind draw but probably still unlikely) then the additional TV money from the Europa League makes it a much more lucrative prospect, even if we end up sharing it with Rangers.

Agreed however the best team in each game is likely to advance to UCL QR3. For example Dinamo Zagreb should beat Shkupi or Lincoln Red Imps in Round 2, meaning one of those two drops into Europa QR3. Looking at the games and judging the quality of teams i'd say 5 of these 10 could be our potential opponents along with any of AEK Larnaca,Dynamo Kyiv,Fenerbahce,Midtjylland, Partizan and Slovacko.

I think the stage we're at now with Scottish football is good. Having at least 3 teams in the group stages. A far cry from a few years ago. Don't think we'll get above that for a while.

Daveandal Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Interesting article on the BBC site about fixture lists. Basically due to Hearts playing 8 games on a Thursday and Celtic potentially playing games on a Tuesday (but not knowing the dates) it leave few options of when we can play. Even more complicated as we don't know what competition and thus nights Rangers will be playing on. Basically I'd put a few pennies of us playing Celtic very early doors.

Daveandal Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Stuck in Aviemore in the pouring rain so decided so be a little geeky. There has been a lot of chat about how difficult the Europa League group stages would be. Of course it would be more difficult than the conference but would it be an impossible task to qualify? So using the current draws and UEFA country and team coefficients I did my best to work out who'd progress/drop out from the CL etc. Then seeded the teams who got into the group stages and did a draw. The results are as follows. The Aviemore bored out my nut Europa Leage 22/23 GROUP A Lazio Rennes Midtjylland Sivasspor GROUP B Dynamo Kyvi Real Sociedad Union Berlin HEARTS GROUP C Man U Feyenoord Apollon limassol Diploma GROUP D Benfica Copenhagen Nates Austria Vienna Group E Braga Partizan Belgrade Ferencvacos Silkenborg GROUP F Roma Ludogorets Real Betis Trabzonspor GROUP G Rangers Gent Bodo Glimt Strum Graz GROUP H Arsenal Malmo Frieburg Union Saint Gilloise So in my opinion inconclusive. We got a hard draw but other groups look a little "easier". Should be some great trips and nights at Tyne whatever happens. Hearts beat Shamrock Rovers to qualify BTW. With certain draws in the CL there could be a few very beatable teams we could draw in the qualifying round. Right I need a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
