But again it has to be asked, with the exception of a league cup eons ago then what is there to suggest that an extension was the right move!!

I'm sure I read that this year the aim was Europa league group stages as that's where we'd bring in the most money. To fail, and to fail so spectacularly doesn't suggest progression from any of the previous attempts.

Fair enough we get there THEN you give an extension but to give an extension based on nothing more than cronyism is a shocking dereliction of duties.
