When you think about it though it was a perfectly feasible for them to kick on after we disappeared - they've certainly spent enough money, sadly for them they've thrown it all down the toilet. I don't think anybody in England foresaw the way we've bounced back from it, hell many of our own fans were pessimistic about our chances at the time. You'd have been laughed out of the room in the summer of 2009 if you'd said we'd be preparing for European competition (through league position, no less) three years down the line.
