I wouldn't go that far.
Them staying out of the CL spots will be good enough for me.
They aren't getting into the CL spot in my opinion, they are in the race for the EL spots but thats about it.
Not sure they would want EL even if they don't get a CL spot. They would somehow fuck up and let slip the Europa in fear of playinp Thursday Sunday. Look at how Sir Alex fucked that one up last season or two ago
