I'd be delighted with 5th place as I don't think that being in the CL would be good for us at the moment. I am far more interested in us winning challenging for the EPL than winning the CL, and the extra games/travel would be detrimental to that.
I know what the counter argument is..."...but being in the CL will attract better players". Well, it won't because FSG aren't the type to splash out on the fees/salaries for these type of players anyway.
Let's give up all together then. This team is not strong enough to win the title and since FSG aren't the type to splash out on player fees and wages , there's obviously no way we're going to sign players to win the league. So [oops] it, let's give up
