Potentially.
I wouldn't say I know enough about several other teams over the years to have been relegated that were the strongest. But Villa & Newcastle perhaps, or maybe some Fulham or West Brom teams that have dropped? Not sure.
I think I've answered where it's gone wrong before, but in summary:
Rodgers being given free reign to sign some absolute cart-horses
Letting Schmeichel go without finding an adequate replacement. Not just for his goalkeeping ability, but his leadership, character and personality. We lost a big player there. It's almost like he knew the shitshow was about to occur but I don't begrudge him a move to continue playing in Europe at all.
Rodgers being given too long to stay in his position despite our disgraceful drop towards the bottom of the table. Could/should have gone in the summer, after 7 games, after the World Cup, before the March international break.
Too many players being far too comfortable, not really having the commitment to the club, which leads to under-performing and just not being bothered about the fate of the club while they secure a move elsewhere
Our owner not being ruthless enough, being ill-advised by an arsehole of a Director of Football (Jon Rudkin). It's why I've mentioned that things off the pitch are just as bad as they have been on it. It all filters down in some way, shape or form. And that's what has happened here. When the general doesn't know what's going on or know how to lead, how can the proverbial soldiers know what to do or take charge?
