IMHO I think their arguments dont hold water.

They played their strongest teams most of the time and the youth players only came on the bench when they were down to the bare bones.

And even then they hardly got any minutes.

To be balanced if we would have started really poorly and worked our way up to 13th they would still be here.

Its clear the powers that be thought they had lost the plot after working with the squad for 10-11 months.
