Normally, the usual four would be safe, with Spurs and Everton failing to get their feet in Europe. What Benitez could have said is that every manager in Chelsea is an interim manager, and that has been their problem -though it hasn't stopped them winnning things...and if Spurs sell Bale, where do they go after that? And where does Bale want to go -Madrid? The shopkeeper up the road from thinks he may go to Arsenal!!
