So it's better to have a manger have us finish outside of the top 4, that's to say have at least 4 clubs better than us as a demonstration of their managerial greatness. Or, have a manager that gets his team knocked out of the Champions League and drop into the Europa League, just like the greatest Europa League manager to ever exist, Emery. LOL
I want a manger that has us competing at the top end of the league and the top end of CL, if you have this then you will also be competing for domestic trophies (just as we have been). And maybe we can catch a break and play Watford, Palace, Villa, Hull, Wigan or Stoke in the final.
Jose has to have us in the top 3 and into the quarter-finals of CL, if he can then we will have a team capable of also getting into the semi-final and finals of domestic cups, just as is the case bar about 4 examples over the last 30yrs.
