That's small club mentality, for big clubs it's:
1. Champions League & League
2. Rest
I'm sure that's what owners think as well

In the early 1990s, when United had finally taken the title, they were getting crowds of less than 40,000 through for Champions League games: 39,000 for Galatasaray’s arrival in 1993 and 35,000 for Honved. It took time for Europe to catch on.
Domestic competition – the task of dethroning Arsenal and setting about a challenge to Liverpool’s back catalogue of titles – was all that mattered at Old Trafford back then, just as toppling United is City’s obsession now.
Reigning domestic champions City might be, but they know that winning two titles by a hair’s breadth does not make them the dominant force in English football. That’s their supporters’ overriding ambition. This is a team who were playing Wrexham and Macclesfield 16 years ago. No wonder the domestic game still hold so much fascination for the fans. It’s why Reading last year had far more pulling power than Roma this week.

That is not the case no. If we won the League and the Europa League, there can only be a maximum of 4 clubs from one country in the Champions League.
Therefore the top 4 would get it as normal.
If Everton finished 6th say and won the Europa League and United finished 4th, Everton would get the CL qualification as the winners of the Europa League definitely gain CL qualification for the following season whatever happens.

If it's such an integrated league, where one supplements the other, then let those who win their groups move into the CL.
No, thought not.
Really good post.
If there ever was a distinct 'danger' of us coming only third and going into the Europa, I think we should put a load of youngsters into the side and see what happens.
If we were to still 'qualify' for the Europa after all that, IMHO we should continue to play a complete team of youngsters in that competition until we were knocked out.

do the europa winners go into the CL qualification round just like the prem 4th place team?

Co efficiency is on its way out.

Do we attempt to go all out and win the Europa or do we sack it off in first round and concentrate on domestic treble?
Benefits of both, but for me establishing a domestic superiority in winning more trophies at home outweighs Euro success
