Summary: All over Europe it has been a season of imbalance where the points separating the top teams and the trailing pack have become extended quite like never before, and in our crosshairs is how the Premier League title race reveals a number of clubs with terrible allocation of resources both at the top of the table and near the relegation zone where QPR may just be the most damaging case of all. We take a deeper look at how the title race being closed so soon has broadened the spotlight on many of these shortcomings including the wasted opportunities, efforts and resources allocated to big spending Manchester City and Chelsea with Arsenal and Tottenham facing some of their own weaknesses in that final race for top four. We examine the situation for Roberto Mancini who is already answering questions about transfer targets this summer after a lost 2012-13 campaign on all fronts. We also revisit the story for Manchester United where failures in Europe have appeared yet again once high level competition has tapped their unresolved issues in the midfield year after year along with an unexpected weakness in mentality that was ultimately exposed by Real Madrid. Also discussed here is the Rio Ferdinand call-up by Roy Hodgson that has backfired, the future for Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford, a massive and historic match between Croatia and Serbia and US national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann now facing the music after reports of internal problems have touched off a wave of doubt as the Americans head to Azteca to do battle with Costa Rica and Mexico.
