What's so frustrating is that AW has shown (effectively with much fewer resources, and lower quality squad players) that he can get a team to third, under all kinds of pressures.
If he just did what we all want the club to do, i.e. stop playing a big game of chance, and adding the extra fabled 2%, we would be up there challenging....it would only take spending the "profit", or, God forbid, making a small loss in the transfer window for once. That loss could eventually be offset by prize money!
Two extra players, 10 to 15mil a piece is all we need to be right up there.
We beat the eventual champions last season, and ran them close in the other games....there isn't as big a gap as people think in terms of quality.
Where we fail, is the ability to replace like for like when the inevitible injury crisis / goal drought / tiredness factor kicks in.
