I don’t think we’d be in the relegation zone had Iversen played all season tbh. Ward’s continued selection has been a massive factor. 

I'm still a little skeptical of this when the whole team is so dysfunctional.

It's a small reason, and I've no doubt that we'd have more points now if Kasper was here and not Ward. Would we still be in a relegation battle? Most probably and the atmosphere would probably be garbage and we'd still be in a position where most of our squad are leaving either this summer or next. Also, rumours were that Rodgers didn't get along with Kasper and wasn't bothered about him leaving. As always, the mess falls back at Rodgers door. 

.. there was a quote made by Kasper regarding his view of Rodgers where he eulogies about him!!!

 Pretty hard to explain, as I  viewed it as they did not get on and Kasper would have spoken to Top about his dissatisfaction with the job Rodgers was doing. I  viewed it as he wasn't backed by Khun Top and it was the reason for his sudden exit to Nice.

 When you are on the verge of 150 consecutive league games and your manager pulls you out on 149, throws  Danny Ward in goal and then brings you back, it was a show of power and Kasper knew the writing was on the wall.

 We would not have been anywhere near this scenario had Khun Top addressed the situation differently. 

 When all is said and done, Khun Top carries the can for this debacle.

Micah Richards is the man who turned down £100,000 a week at Man City to sit on a bench to earn £25,000 at Aston Villa. (And got relegated with Villa)

I’d take his punditry with a pinch of salt. 

...he wasn't getting game time at Man.City,  injuries and competition saw to that!!!

  They had won the league again whilst he was there but had played only 2 league matches that season which prevented him from winning another league winners medal. He went on a year loan to Fiorentina and refused the Man.City contract offer as no guarantee of game time. He ended up at Villa where he was ravaged by injuries and missed whole season and he retired at 31. Fair play to him not taking the Man.City  contract because he wanted game time, it seems it is not always about the money.
