Thought we'd struggle, even with Maresca.
Doesn't matter how long you've been in the Premier League, a club our size and finances loses its best players and if you do get back, you're starting from square one, cannon fodder.
Top and his cronies couldn't foresee this back when Rogers was sending us down and even if they could, their inept decision making has set the club back years.
I'd be surprised if we ever grace the top flight again after this season whilst Top is still the owner.
