What happens if we don't' get top four?

[mayo31]

If we don't get top 4 we will be a laughing stock.

Personally I not totally bothered in terms of the actual competition but financially and also attracting the top players it will be a downer.

don't forget also we will then be in the same marketplace as Chelsea who don't look like getting top 4 either.

I hope pep has actually signed and no get out clause is available.

I'm confident we'll finish 3rd personally. Arsenal have Spurs away at the weekend, Everton away 3 days after their Barca game as well as trips to West Ham and Sunderland and of course, ourselves.

I'm putting that last night down to cup hangover/tired legs.
Get a result Saturday then weeks rest till Norwich, I think we'll get top 3 but think winning it has gone.

If we don't get four we'll try and improve the squad, try and win the Europa and do well domestically.

It won't happen but it wouldnt be the end of the world if it did.

I would bin every last one of the surrender monkeys that's for sure, shows how much KDB was carrying this team.

If we don't get top 4 the players will lose a shitload of cash - approximately 24% of their max wad disappears. No CL qualification = No bonus at all.
Finish in 4th spot and it's deferred till CL group participation is confirmed. The bonus is paid yearly in arrears with part of it a cash sum on the players contract anniversary, Most are so thick they probably won't notice the drop till their contract anniversary.
For example Sterling is on about 160k a week basic 210k with bonuses.

The axe should have been wielded last summer after last seasons disaster. Hell something should have been done the summer after Mancini was sacked - though FFP was weighing heavily against this at the time.
