Look, it's pretty simple here. If we don't want to advance from this competition, then simply field the entire youth squad or submit a proposal to UEFA to get out of participating. There isn't a point in playing a tournament we don't want to win, and it doesn't look like we want the extra revenue from it either. From a marketing perspective, such a performance is like a political ad you issue with your candidate running around a playground with his pants off. It's incredibly embarrassing. And it won't do anything to acquire more fans. So why even bother with it.
And lets not try to put a positive 1984-like spin on this and say it's a good thing to be knocked out of a competition. Losing never builds confidence, and neither does playing poorly against a team we should beat. So lets not celebrate this as some folks were in the match thread.
