A good question but there is a follow up.
If MP gets us through to the CL knock out, will there be any further acquisitions? It's early days for him in the job and the general moaning about players and positions may actually be surpassed and so become irrelevant come January.
I'd be happy with top three in MP's first season. Chelsea will give it a good go under Jose. To me, Rags, Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool are all too erratic although dangerous on their respective days. The rest, even Everton, are falling even further behind.
The extra TV money is just enforcing status. So much for FFP, eh?
