How about a competent management that rightfully lets Chiefy go at the end of last season (end of contract, no firing required)? Is that too pie in the sky for you?
Edit: could have also backed that new manager than how well they backed Chiefy before this season, without being crazy big spenders. Nobody saw any ambition in our signings prior to the season, and only two of them in Eze and Armiento have been anywhere close to good enough. Eze himself wasnt a sure thing either, getting somebody from the Iraqi league is always going to be a wildcard. And Armiento was a bit of a journeyman too
