They were much better the year after though and for me that team up until 2010 produced the best football we’ve had since the glory days. They suffered in other ways but I feel the football was worth the entrance fee, it’s just a shame we never had the money at the time to add the type of player we can get now, someone who could have edged us closer to the title.
Our progress in the CL at the time was good during this period as well.
