Would not bet against them mismanaging us right out of the top four.
Our third place this season could easily have been fifth - I wonder do they recognise that at all?
Exactly, half the reason we risked falling out of the top four was because we were so under prepared when the season began. We wasted 7 games because we didn't have a settled squad.
It's not the lack of quality that put the CL places at risk, it was the lackadaisical approach by the senior management. I view that we would never have doubted falling out of the top four had we done the basics right before we played Newcastle in August.
