Aye, from what I can tell when it comes to loaning out their good players (as opposed to the dross that fills the Academy system) the clubs take a holistic approach as to where they place them.
Which is kind of my point.
Qualifying for Europe isn't really going to level you up, it's not going to unlock 'access' to a *better* quality of player which a lot of fans assume to be the case because *Europe*. And again, that's not a dig - it's just that whether or not a club is playing a couple of European qualifiers in July/August isn't really going to factor into the thinking of that sort of club if they think that you're a good place to send their players to develop.
Broadly speaking the "access" you'll have to players will be the same if you finish 6th and don't qualify for Europe as it would be if you finish 5th and get dropped into the qualifiers.
If Liverpool like what you've done with Beck then they're going to be open to sending you similar players regardless of whether you're playing Sligo Rovers or whoever in mid-July or not.
On the point about the success of your loans, Kettlewell has been exactly the same with us pointing to James Furlong, Brodie Spencer, Georgie Gent, Jack Vale and the most obvious of the lot Mika Biereth.
It stands to reason if you have a track record of developing players (both your own and loans) rather than just parking them on the bench or freezing them out then your reputation will probably open doors for you.
I've already started dusting off my passport for Sligo away.
Thank you.

Despite what is at stake, I simply cannot wish that lot any luck.
G'wan the Saints. Means we have to beat the other lot too (makes it interesting).
Thank you.

Should be an interesting game between the top two Diddies.
I'll go 1-1.

Can't see anyone out with the OF having the funds to prize him away tbh. I believe one of Hearts or Aberdeen offered him a PCA last season before he signed a new deal with us so they can look all they like.
Big bucks from England or he's going nowhere.
Thank you.

That was a bit weird from Dindy even going by his usual fishing standards.
If it was Killie, then he would have been celebrating.
Ex Rainjurz fan isn't he!?
Probably still hurting.

Leaving the cheeks in a two team league and allowing the rest of us to get on with it is a great idea.
Thank you.
