I think fourth will be a little beyond use for this season, the Two Manchester teams are stronger than us, Spurs are probably playing the best football in the premiership, Arsenal are coming strong after a bad start and i think Chelsea have started to jell, although they are a team who are old, with a few exeptions.
That looks like Five teams with stronger squads, although we could overhaul Chelsea i think the rest are to strong. How will this affect our team, no UCL means it will be harder to attract overseas better players, so we wil have to nurture are own tallent and this will take time...
Manchester City will not weaken in the next few seasons, Manchester United even though the current squad seem inferiour to past teams are just behind City and i susspect will just become stronger. Spurs and Arsenal look to be well run ( depending on how Reddknaps court case goes. And if Van P stays ) Chelsea i can see falling away but that still leaves Four teams stronger than us, a bleak prospect !.
