Anyone consider that maybe we are trying to avoid Europa?
Funny enough I have heard a few rumours about that it would be nice to think that e.g we really are not this bad
No, that's one conspiracy theory too far for me. If anything we'll probably finish above our potential this season, and that is down to other club managers taking a while to figure out Rodgers tactical switch in mid season. That advantage is now gone and we see ourselves as we truly are, shorn of any semblance of quality in any key position. We have been well and truly dumbed down by the moneyball fiasco, and it's hard to see much light at the end of the tunnel, unless by some miracle FSG decide to change tack and invest in quality signings, but don't hold your breath!
