    But how much of that is down to how we look to play as opposed to poor execution or decision making at that time?

    What does "get away with" mean? Implies we're doing something wrong, or getting lucky.

    All the critics about our football because we’ve dared challenge the money clubs , the only way to get to prem is debt clubs , the we are massive so we should be in the prem clubs , the we’ve got rich owners clubs .the so called privileged clubs .
    What we need is to crowdfund a gigantic Billy Casper flag fingers et al giving it large that we’ll make it against the odds just like Billy .

    I’d tend to agree but it’s fair to say Chelsea struggled against it.

    I’m no critic of the current style in fact I much prefer it to the non football of Struber but the OP misses out the professional bit in the equation. Whilst ever you are marketing yourself as an entertainment you have to offer entertainment. The reality for a club like ours is that we are extremely unlikely to ever win anything so it’s clearly not just about winning or we would all be off to the Etihad.
