I’m as guilty as most on here. But I think sometimes a reality check is needed.I’m almost certain when poch took over his remit was to make us a consistent top 4 club. I very much doubt winning a title or CL was mentioned.I’m sure the plan was something like let’s try and be top 4 till 2nd year in new stadium. Then we can think about increasing spending and wages. How we have assembled this squad on a net spend of £9m is truly insane.Whether by brilliant management scouting or luck i’m Really not sure. Consider in the last year or so both Manchester clubs have spent £300m net each,to be able to compete with us.
The trouble will Obviously be trying to keep this squad together for another 2 years. If we can do then we may have a chance to seriously challenge. But can we ever really compete with Might of Manchester I’m not sure.I know it’s hard to not carried away sometimes and think we should go to OT and win. But currently we are seriously punching. It’s the equivalent of force India competing with Mercedes and Ferrari. It’s quite baffling how we are even in this situation.
