Greenland is politically in Europe, but it can't grow football pitches, so has troubles with the football authorities.
Israel. Well, it's in Europe in football terms.

our last turn in europe saw us undone easily. I doubt much would be different. Need owners with vision and not just interested in the next game.

All the way.... if Roma can reach the EL semi final then I don't see why we can't. Obviously need a bit more squad depth but with sensible, affordable investment I don't see why it can't be done.
We can add 5/6 decent players (including a couple of loanees) within an affordable budget. In Moyes we trust.

Not very far unless there's some decent investment in the squad.
We barely have the number of decent players to sustain a domestic campaign as shown by what happens when we have a couple of injuries.
If we get in, then it's a watershed moment for the owners. Do they put their money where their mouth is, or leave us high and dry?
That said, even if we don't qualify this season, the above still applies. Do they really want us to kick on and try to be top six? We will see how serious their aspirations are.

With our owners. I would say the Dartford River Crossing was as far as we get.

If we go into the UEFA, I’d be worried we again didn’t pass the qualifying to get into the groups.
Depends which UEFA (Europa) we get. Straight to group stages for Europa League, for English teams. Last qualifying round for Europa Conference.

I think a lot of people are in for a rude awakening next season. If the lockdown is over two things will likely happen: a) a lot of teams will improve their home form and b) teams who don't have much possession and rely on counter attacking may get the crowd on their backs when losing at home, and these teams will fare worse. We are b), not a).
We've been lucky that the lockdown has afforded Moyes the chance to get the team playing how he wants them to, and I would expect us to finish 7th-10th next season, but the only European competition we'd have much chance in is the Conference.
If we do enter that we'll have loads of extra games to play without benefit of all the extra money you get from the Champions and even Europa League, meaning we'll barely strengthen the squad, and probably do even worse in the Premier League.
I don't normally like being negative but unless the club gets sold I don't see this season as being anything but an enjoyable one off, assuming the lockdown ends.

If we get in the Champions I doubt we get out of the groups.
If we go into the UEFA, I’d be worried we again didn’t pass the qualifying to get into the groups.
But yes, right now I’m concerned we don’t even get to Europe. We have lost a couple of important games for achieving Europe and if we don’t change that we won’t be going anywhere.

We'll all get excited and then lose on penalties to Barry in the pre-qualifier, qualifier.

In one off games against Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal, I'd say that only Man City would be almost certain defeat. Chelsea would be tricky, but a definite possible victory. As things stand, against Man Utd or Arsenal I'd be very hopeful we might turn them over in a one off game, or even over two legs.
As we have two points, from the 8 league games against that lot this season and an extra time cup defeat against Man United, what makes you think we'd suddenly start, to do better against them?

For what it's worth, after the stadium move and following my own personal experiences of Bucharest, Palermo and the more recent Astra nonsense: In the Europa League, I would be expecting us to reach the last 16 at an absolute minimum. Champions League would be a free hit. This new Conference tournament we'd have to be looking at trying to win.
