Interesting points.
I agree that United are not gonna sort themselves out by next season.
Chelsea have lost Hazard and have a potential transfer ban.
Woolwich are a bit like Liverpool recently - can score goals but no decent defenders. If Aub goes to China...
It could be 3rd and 4th spots next season will need less points.
If we replace any key outgoing players satisfactorily this TW ( and in some cases it needn't be a like for like player) and otherwise strengthen the squad we should ensure we at least get top 3 or 4 next season, simply based on having a better squad and decent manager
Add a couple of youngsters to the squad successfully and that builds s base for the next couple of seasons ( although we are almost certainly in the position that we will add in future TWs provided suitable players are available.
Having the new stadium revenues puts us on a new level by taking us above Woolwich and Chelsea in terms of revenue - particularly as we have got a decent squad together getting top 4 for a few seasons with less revenue do with more revenues it should help us in the transfer market
