think its better for Southampton not to get to europe this year... don't think they'll have the squad depth to handle the extra matches.. Swansea under Laudrup a few years back got into Europe and got destroyed in the league..

Yet I think they have a much better chance at becoming a Champions League team by winning the Europa League than they have of finishing in the top 4. Besides if they can keep hold of their players this year as well as bring some new players in and they've probably got some promising youth players (they always seem to) then there's no reason they couldn't handle both.

its tricky, http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/europa-league-ruin-your-season-6725156
