You have spoken cogently and fairly. FWIW I don’t think you are hysterical. People can reasonably disagree and I think that’s what we’re doing.I mean what I felt was that, I was disappointed that Levy didnt get the players Poch wanted and whilst I agree with the notion of not signing a player for the sake of it, I'm amazed that Levy couldn't land a single target in the world of football that would help Poch. Also didn't help the feeling that Alder and Mousa were going to be gone and the fact they've be integrated changes things significantly.
My disappointment made me feel concerned that Poch wasn't getting backed and when you have one of the most incredible young managers in world football and with the likes of Madrid and United needing a long term manager to steer their ships that he would be open to going to one of them. I felt in terms of what we could achieve this season was that it's unlikely we can compete with City and Liverpool this season for the title where I feel maybe two signings would give us a great chance. Then people react as if those concerns are "hysteria" where as I see them as pragmatic.
I'd love for the manager and players to go beyond my expectations of them and feel it would be asking a lot but I want to take each game as it comes rather than be reactionary either positively or negatively especially with a new stadium to have to deal getting to grips with. I'm always waiting to see whether we get to the domestic semi finals or a champs league knockout tie to see whether we have taken the next step within the squad or needed some additional quality, not a game vs a united team who are falling apart.
I don’t think everyone has been as measured as you are being now.
