^^^ this is the important point

there are a lot of very poor teams in the Prem this season, a few of who have been a bit self-destructive over recent months. 14th on paper may sound good but i'd argue that 14th last season is a greater achievement than 14th this season. Not only because there are more crap teams but also because we made investments beyond many of the lower sides.
