Burnley could qualify for Europe

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Burnley could qualify for the Europa League next season through the fair play league, if Fulham win the Europa League this year and England stay within the top 3 of the European fair play league (they're third at the moment).

 

I think it would prove to be an unnecessary distraction for a team that, after losing a couple of players, is unlikely to achieve a Newcastle-esque walk over of the Championship next year.

If it keeps their Premiership fan base together, then fair play to them. Relegation usually results in clubs losing a section of their fans, a Europa spot would IMO keep them together.

Does anyone else find the thought of Liverpool not in Europe at all (it could still happen) and Burnley in it.

 

Would be funny. I'd most certainly enjoy watching that fat spanish waiter (Rafa) try and explain that one away.

I like Burnley, mainly because they dispatched Reading in the play-offs last year and also because they had Owen Coyle as their manager, and players like Wade Elliot and Steven Fletcher who I really admire too. Shame that Coyle f*cked off halfway through the season and the Burnley board appointed Brian f*cking Laws, the man who had taken Sheffield Wednesday from mid-table obscurity to relegation battlers in just a few years. Madness.

 

If they do qualify though they'll ultimately be knocked out by some third rate Belarussian team in the first qualifying round, however it would be f*cking hilarious if they qualified and Liverpool didn't!

Meh, more fun watching Grunt explain why the Skates are hard done by.
