I can’t work out my most preferred result for the rags this season. Would a total collapse result in Moyes being sacked and the team being re-tooled in the Summer? That would of course mean no Champions League and no Europa League. Or would it be better to see them lose in the Champions League, lose in the Capital One Cup, and then finish 5th in the Premier League? That would put them in the Europa and probably save Moyes for at least one more season and probably cause them to evaluate their roster though they wouldn't really go crazy as they would feel that they were really pretty close with their current staff.
I'm thinking a 5th place finish would be the best result as that would result in them playing in the Europa which forces teams to play on Thursdays which would further hurt them in the Premier League. They would then have a lot of added pressure and would very likely push back them doing what they would really need to do to fix their problems and therefore extend their agony
My only worry of a quick decline is that the Yankee shysters may sell to someone with real money.
