5th or 6th is acceptable, a trophy would be fabulous. Finishing in the top four would require a lot of things to go our way. To be honest I can't see them being broken up consistently until UEFA takes action -- either by way of limiting foreign players, squad sizes or debt limits. Or a combination of any of those controls.
They have just had too much money, too much success, over a long period of time and have squads way better than any other club in the league. If teams like Real Madrid and Juventus can't compete with them, how are the likes of Villa supposed to?
