I have little faith in coaches who get their feet under the table of the traditional giants in the league, and maintain their success. Celtic won the SPL by 30 points last season, doesn't make Brendan Rogers Bill Shankley does it.
As for where Hull could've finished if they'd have got 1.33 all...
Statistical quirks of going unbeaten at home (in the League) for yonkels can happen when you're managing the likes of Olympiacos, who have won something like 10 of the last 11 League titles and 43 overall. He's managed the strongest teams in the weakest leagues, with all the resources and...
Arsenal don't have Champions League football to worry about beyond about November, so that's hardly anything new.

Not sure what Silva has done to be so highly rated. Finished 3rd with Sporting Lisbon (in a 3 club competition), won the League with Olympiacos (they win it every year), then joined Hull in January and got relegated. My mum could've done all that.
They lost all of their last 6 games last season, and by all accounts were fortunate to have such a shower of shit propping them up. Finished on 40 points which is usually enough, but theirs was a downward trajectory.
Cleverley, Will Hughes and Chalobah should improve them, but if we finish...
Not convinced he'll make the difference between 4th and 6th/7th, especially if they end up losing Sanchez. Did well enough for Lyon, but that is a noddy league.
