Edd001. Can I get your opinion if I may mate.
Theres a big deal about finishing fourth but imo it's a major hinderence. Reasons being it's most likely that team is well off good enough to have won the league or hadnt a great squad to challenge Thus not competing in the CL. All unless the difference from 1st to 4th was a few points. To Liverpool it's extremely important because of our financial situation but I don't see us competing seriously or winning in either the CL or PL next season. I would rather we gave our all in the PL with the aim of winning it rather than be conservative in certain matches to ensure champions league places.
For example united fans urge fourth but it's really not an advantage because they have a poor squad and manager and won't challenge for either next season without another huge amount spent in all areas and a new manager that hits the ground running plus they are financially very strong

{Ed001's Note - the money is important to clubs, it makes a huge difference. Plus it is easier to attract players with Champions League football than it is without it.}
