I think they should be considered one of the title favourites for the reasons you identify. Considering what Liverpool did from a similar league position, but without the experience of winning titles, there's no reason they shouldn't be winning it. Obviously, no one will be allowed to put that pressure on them, but it should be.Tricky_Trev said:I actually think they'll be a threat next season. They have a good manager again and the most ridiculously easy start to the season. Plus they have no European football, which is a huge advantage (look what it did to Liverpool last season, who went from 7th to 2nd). It hinges on who else they buy, but I can see them challenging for the title again if they address their weaknesses.
