I'm not saying that at all - I'm saying that the end of season table doesn't lie. Steve Bruce got his team to their final position after 38/46 games, would a different manager have got the same players higher? Who knows? Certainly not me and tbh I don't really see the point in if's, maybe's and and's ........... it was what it was.
No you didn't say that, you said the squad wasn't good enough. The table doesn't lie, it says how the team performed, it does not show the ability of the squad.
