If we finished 4th last season, would our performances this year have been any better?

On another thread it's just said that Man U could finish 4th on 72 points. We finished on the same points last season but were still 7 points behind Arsenal.

Looking at how dreadful our domestic season has been this year, would competing in the CL made our domestic season any different, or would we still have struggled?

We would have had an extra £25-30m to find transfers, plus the draw of CL. We'd have done better.

Let me check my crystal ball.











Yes we would of

We'd finish 3rd in our CL group, and then we'd got beaten in the EL by Dinamo Kyiv.

And our domestic season would be the same, just like our european campaign.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Can't see how it would have made any difference to our season.

We might have brought in another quality forward instead of the poisons Eto'o but performance wise it would probably been harder given teams would be more wary of us.

Probably not.

The injuries would have still been there which for me has been the biggest problem to the season.

That, and we'd have had a bigger target on our back.

If we'd got past the qualifying round we'd have had a bigger budget, so would have had more to spend in August, but failure to get to the group stages would have meant we'd have been pretty much where we were anyway.

Kenwyne Jones was the hero we needed this season.

 

[Pat's Van]

we would have at least won a cup, or perhaps reached a final, or a semi

league wise we would definitely have finished a few places higher, or maybe around the same, or even lower

 

[Cels]

We probably would have still been let down by our injuries, poor fitness levels, game approach/tactics, and shoddy pre-season prep, etc.

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

we'd probably still would have had the same injuries levels in the first half of the season so probably not

The major difference would have been the impact on our transfer activity last summer - that could have been huge, or we might have signed dross. Who can say?
