The real positive is the emergence of the new guard, with De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane and Jesus looking capable of tearing this league apart for a long time. We know the old guard can't be relied on anymore but we finally have a new core to take over, now we just need to sort out the transition and move on the rest of the old guard. Getting a referee who isn't a corrupt **** wouldn't hurt either, but I'm not holding my breath on that front when Mike Riley is in charge, a man everyone knew was corrupt yet was still put in charge of all referees (which really tells you everything you need to know)
