All in a vain attempt to avoid relegation. So what if you don't get relegated? Whats the medium / long-term plan or has Roddy not reached that page of the Football Management for Dummies manual yet?
Yet you have decided that unless a top 2/3 side wins the Cup their prospects won't be good in the UEFA Cup, resulting in a worsening of our UEFA Coefficient.
The irony is that given the former, you have any interest or opinion in the latter, given it has no realistic chance of ever impacting on your club.
