If it was my club i'm sure i'd see it differently, but I can't help but think they're not in too awful of a state. I do wonder who was in charge of buying and selling the players. Going into the season with their options at left back is just really poor for a club who want to break into the champions league. They're pretty poor at centre half and right back as well. I know it's goal scoring is part of the problem but i'd have though a more solid backline would free up the midfield to attack a bit more.
