Agree ... CL or nothing !! Europa League can kill a season with many useless games around Europe on bad pitches.
Like CL is out of our reach (unless Napoli and the other teams following them do what happened to many teams last year, losing and drawing week in and week out while we win games), I'd better see Milan end at the 6th place this year, building the team for next season, with a real challenge for the title next year with no European competition. That could be a good way to build a new winning mentality (winning Serie A next season).
I would agree too, because I really don't rate EL at all! I was wholeheartedly against that idea until most recently I read a post that kind of struck me with some sense.
Apparently, there is one advantage in playing in EL, which is the coefficient points. Not for Italy, as I couldn't care less, but for Milan. One full season without points from Europe would easily drop us to Pot 3, and if and when we come back to CL, we will be guaranteed with a very difficult group. So, maintaining our presence in Europe would be essential for us, and not to forget that EL and CL weigh the same (isn't that ridiculous) on points.
