Europe or Premier league?

It’s been openly said we need to sell to progress, whether that still applies if Europe had been achieved I don’t know… having said that you need a bigger squad hence we might still have had to sell a player to buy 3 say.

Openly said by whom? The press? The club certainly haven't said it.

With a few class additions, why not?

Our problem is going to be keeping hold of ‘class additions’
Clubs like us Brighton, Brentford , Bournemouth are there to be cherry picked
Once players heads are turned and the lure of a big team and stratospheric wages we don’t stand a chance sadly

Wasn't really an option at the start of the season Europe. It was all about survival!

But then Sunderland never do it by the instruction manual. 40 points etc. Then there's a slim chance to qualify, do we or don't we??

Do we push on or do we stick ..... until next season.

Behind the scenes we are changing to move forward, will this season be to early to move forward?

I have said many times elsewhere we need to learn how to play without Xhaka. We just got trounced ( humiliated?) with him and looked a rabble
Without him this season we would have been relegated imho
Let’s hope Ghisolfi has some bargains in his black book and RLB and his team come up with better connections and more triangles

Do you think we could compete with both, Europe and Premier league?

I am confident that if we qualify for Europe the owners will strengthen the team to enable us to be competitive in Europe and the PL just as they prepared us to compete in the PL this season. Not sure why it's presented as a choice.
 
The last two results have put paid to any chance of us qualifying fir Europe this year, but I would like us to finish as high as we can, top ten at least. Perhaps we should approach the remaining games as if we were fighting to avoid relegation.😀
 
Why do football supporters think that everything somehow falls neatly into place when you're 'ready' for it?

You may never get a better opportunity to qualify for European competition.

It's irrelevant whether you're ready for it or not.
