Awful keeper, leaky defence, inability/unwillingness to retain the better players, and a board who wouldn't spend in the transfer window?! Also didn't the chief recruiter/scout or whatever leave last season and is still to be replaced?Bigger club, more successful, more potential, world class training facilities.
Regardless of the league table, due to current management, we have better players. (Recent FA Cup win and 5th place finishes in Premier league).
