A couple of points come to mind.

1) AI shouldn't be trusted. It's a useful tool, but tools need to be in the right hands and have a job suited to them.
2) The mention of 'success rates' makes me wonder if success behind the scenes might look like a relegation. I'm starting to wonder what the impact would be financially - presumably we'd sell a fair amount of season tickets still, and TV money (despite rumours of increases with the Sky+ deal) seems not to change much, but it would definitely make a difference to the contracts we'd agree with the vast number of incoming players we'd have in the summer, and it's possible some existing players may have clauses to adjust their deals if we go down. Maybe success for the owner is not what we all assume.
