Qualifying for Europe - What Would We Need?

[PatrickA]

Next games are Man C (away), Newcastle (away), Bournemouth (home), Arsenal (away) - all packed in a two week period before the semi final.
Talk of a European place, at least via a league placing, seems premature.
We will do well to get 5 or 6 points from that run of games.
Not a criticism of the team, just an acknowledgement of the fact that we face three of the most difficult away fixtures possible in a row.
I'm fortunate to have seen us win at each ground in the last few seasons, but it's going to take some good fortune and resilience to repeat those feats.

No

Celtic - Guaranteed EU football every year which gives the club a boost fiances and for that league allows them to sign players (People may see this as a chance before moving to bigger club)

Your Spurs one makes 0 sense.

We pay out transfer and wages very high rates and next how many teams are guaranteed European football?

Sme players wont even go to clubs if not playing it europe (remember that guy named wilf yeah him the reason he left wanted european football and dropped down to a subpar league to do it even took wage cut)

If you were in charge of Palace and could choose which league to be in and which (non stadium) revenue you could have which would you choose? If you say Celtic you're either a liar or an idiot.

Fair point but being a glass half full kind of a bloke I'm optimistic for 7 points from those games. Might not happen sure but the big turn around in attitudes right now is the opposition dont want to be playing Crystal Palace instead of the other way around.
I'm hoping Glasner will keep them focused on playing our game and let them worry about us instead
