Well said.....a wake up call is just what is needed. It wouldn't do Boca any harm either.

I remember in 1973 when Manchester United last got relegated. They had been through a lot of turmoil in the years leading up to it. That was a wake up call for them. They gained promotion straight away and have never looked back since.
