I love this! Numancia are a classy club that earned their spot to la Liga by dominating the Segunda División last season. It is no wonder why they did so well and based on Barça's poor roster it is no surprise that they underestimated the Castile and León club. Hats off to the new boys.
It isn't so much that they're starting to fall apart, just that there is so much more competition and now that more clubs are being financially well-supported almost as equally some clubs start to fall apart. It isn't an uncommon thing, but it just hasn't happened too drastically like in the 1920's and 30's. Perhaps we shall see some of them drop a league or two? I doubt it, but there is no doubt that new clubs are starting to pick up the steam and contend with the internationally known giants.
