His most likely excuse is that this season was an anomaly and all the big clubs suffered for unknown reasons, hell he may even say our non-performance in line with the chavs, gypos and utd PROVES we are a big club. He'll say everything will be back to normal next season and when Pep, Maureen and whoever the chavs are bringing in get here and start splashing the cash he'll have his trusty old excuse back in commission. Whatever he needs to say to cover his arse, he'll say. The owners want him here so here is where he'll stay.
