If I'm being honest, top 4 was par for this season - having had a £250m injection in the squash in the summer. A trophy is nice which is a net positive but I just hope to God he can improve us further next season and get us to play a much better brand of football with an element of control in most games.
I don't understand where the 250m pound figure comes from? I looked up our transfers on transfermarkt and after adding up all the fees it equaled 243m
EURO. When I did the conversion to GBP it was 215m. So we are missing 35m GBP which could have brought us a squad player and helped us tremendously this season in the middle or even up front.
But even without what I listed above, you are implying that ETH received a functioning squad and he just strengthened it, which he didn't. In reality he received a squad that lost Pogba, Matic, Mata and Cavanni. Also you can add Ronaldo(our last season's top scorer) to that list who also refused to train for the start of the season, was being a disruptive influence and fecked off mid season.
As things stand Top4 is an very good result which exceed 85% of fans expectation on Day 2 of the League. A league cup and a FA Cup final is just a bonus on top of that.
