True position of the eL in European ranking

Obviously we can look at the mighty coefficients but these based on 5 years & the eL a lot better in recent years.

Personally i think we around 31-32nd at the moment but going to take a few years for official figures to reflect it...

Just using the last 3 years (including this year) - 31st.

With the current crop of players the eL would probably max out in around top 25 & that is assuming get some good runs. 25th would be massive progress but would probably need big insurge of investment into the league to move up from there....

All this talk a bit premature anyway...

So far. To paraphrase the old financial investment adverts "the value of placings can go down as well as up"...

I'll gladly eat my words if Cork make the Champions League.
