GOT logic: Moyes gets top 4 in with Mourinho's record title winners, Ferguson's United, Arsenal's invincibles and ahead of Rafael's Liverpool. Everton had a very poor squad and the top 4 were immensely strong and entrenched = Dinosaur football from a hopeless manager, best of the rest isn't good enough, glass ceiling is self imposed blah blah blah
Martinez has a far far far better Everton side with a 30 mill striker upfront. The top 4 no longer exists with the rise of City and managerial change breaking up the old order. Arsenal, United, Chelsea and Liverpool are undoubtedly poorer, Everton are undoubtedly superior to what they were = squad can only be expected to be top ten, the other teams have too much money, the top 4 is impossible, we can do nothing but wait for a billionaire.
It's absolutely ridiculous. 04/05 shows that the top 4 is never impossible. All you have to be is consistent. A consistent way of playing with the gradual improvement of the overall quality and you can try to consistently challenge. Moyes never had this as his team was continuously ripped apart and his best players sold every season. Martinez has not had any of his best players sold yet. He was allowed to bring in expensive loans and then allowed to back it up with the huge purchase of Lukaku. Despite this he spent last season on an ideological bender faffing around in midtable. Apparently this is ok though because the top 4 is impossible.
