I think my point is the utter ridiculousness of suggesting it is alright for us to settle for Europa League places with no consequences for those responsible. The very fact it will lose us tens of millions in revenue next year if it happens and deal a major blow to our financial rebuilding and our ability to attract top players with our already penny-pinching ways... well, those responsible need to be held accountable if it happens.
Someone posted our tackles per game stats this year as opposed to the last 4-5 years. It's by far the lowest it has been, and that is directly related to selling one of the best box to box mids in the world and failing to replace him. How is that acceptable behaviour on the market considering our results this far?
Beppe should be held accountable if we miss 3rd. And I've always been a big fan of his. But what he did this summer is inexcusable if we don't recover from it. Too much transitioning all at once. Losing Tevez for sure, and Pirlo, we should have absolutely refused to entertain offers for Vidal below an amount that would be silly not to accept. IE. 60 mil.
