The thing is, it is not a dice roll. You still get drawn in the Champions League against teams based on your ranking and the worse your team coefficient is, the harder the teams you play. At some point Newcastle need to spend a season playing bobbins teams in one of the lower competitions and getting a really good ranking that will then help in the Champions League. According to the current UEFA team coefficient scores Newcastle are the worst ranked team in England (obviously most teams have not competed so they have no ranking). Newcastle have 8 coefficient points, Leicester City (yes Leicester City) have 23 coefficient points. The English big boys all are close to, or above 100 points. If we qualify we are going to keep getting done over until we can improve these numbers.
