Feel really sorry for the Betis fans. They were a real breath of fresh air last season, despite the financial constraints put on them. With the sale of the heart of their team - Benat, Canas, etc., the loss of the on loan players and the long term injury to Ruben Castro, this season was always going to be a little bit more of a struggle. However, I didn't think they would have struggled this much. The vast amount of new players brought in appear to be second rate in the main. Pepe Mel had done wonders for the club, with his hands tied, and his sacking was vastly unpopular amongst the Beticos. His replacement, Garrido, has been underwhelming to say the least and I fear a desperate second half to the season at the Villamarin. Let's just hope that they can manage some sort of miracle and stay up this season.
