100% yes.

It must be on the strict understanding that it doesn’t affect our EFL status. Now or in the future.

But of course we should be in our own domestic cup especially with European qualification a good possibility

It's risky if there is a league restructure.

And how are we going to fit the fixtures in it's not like the old Cup winners cup.
With 32 teams in a 2 legged knockout.

European fixtures is the reason the Premier League was cut to 20 teams. You can't play Championship fixtures, League Cup, FA Cup, Cymru Cup and European Fixtures.

Of course you can

46 league

Usually 3/4/5 league/fa cup games

4 games to win welsh cup

55 games in 10 months. No problem.

And we could utilise our fringe players to get through the first game or two

Yes if we did have a run in the competition.

6 games to qualify for the league
8 league group games
8 2 legged knockout games
And the final.

So thats an extra 23 games
46 league games
4 Welsh cup
FA Cup if Luke is in charge 1 game.
Leeague Cup if Luke is in charge 1 game

That's 75 games providing we don't get a cup run
Can't see the problem myself

Some are just so clueless. The squad cost required for such demands would be really expensive to put it mildly, to purchase and pay. Considering the profit from any European adventure would not be included in P&S and the cost would need to come out of the reduced P&S budget, you do wonder if we would be in a worse financial mess than we are now.

I’m unsure on the impact of P&S, it is revenue that doesn’t include player sales or those coming in or contracts. Worth a check 👍

But that was real European football. Win the League or Cup and you go into a knockout Cup against top teams.

Yes if it was like the old format fair enough.

It was never previously a problem or an issue. Playing in our Welsh Cup and in Europe. Believe what you want to but it would be good for our club and for welsh football to have good representation in Europe. My one experience of it ( Malmo ) was amazing. Not the gsme but the whole trip and memory.
There’s no guarantee we would qualify of course. Wrexham and to a lesser extent Newport and Cardiff might have something to say too.

Sorry but that's crazy, haven't you noticed how much we are struggling right now? Our squad is paper thin and we are no allowed to spend, spend to bulk it up to a point where can do all those games and even then, what if we have good cup runs?

Then there's the threat to our EFL status, that could happen and I don't see other EFL clubs being happy with our backdoor into European competition which could be a money spinner and so give us a financial advantage in the league.

It just doesn't work for me.

I think you are wrong, the moneu would be ncome thrpough football, not money spunked out by a rich benefactor. I think it would be ok. Not that it changes my mind, I'm against doing this.

Too many games, potentially waaay too many. Too much money needing to be spent to get a big enough AND good enough squad, that's probably P&S broken before we kick a ball. Then the EFL thing, would clubs object, would the EFL look at expellong us?

No thanks. It could ruin us or it could be brilliant but I think the latter is less likely.

Swansea have trouble attracting quality player who prefer WBA Stoke and even Bristol City these days.

The lure of European football would change all that. I believe Euro football would appeal to many young footballers who do not want to relocate to Europe or Scotland. I am a sceptic but if EUFA have given it the green light then it should be OK.

Swansea have only a 50:50 chance of getting there even as Wales s top team ATM.

How do we fit all the games in.
Chelsea are in it this year and play 2 different squads.

Also the Prem is 38 games
Championship is 46.

No from me.
We dont play in the Cymru system.

Also not the way to force Merthyr to Cymru Prem by isolating them.
Better to make Cymru Prem so good that Merthyr want to join.

Swans better off focusing on the day job.

Beware of the Risen People

Yes, it is after all the Welsh League Cup, a league we have no reason to represent or be in.

The whole of the club should be able to play I would say. Those on pro contracts as we have in the u21 especially.
