Yes it would have been frustrating even without City or Chelseas presence cos they arent the ones who have cost us trophies over the years. Its our own ineptness. Surely we should have managed a trophy or 2. If the likes of Spuds, Pompey, Liverpool and of course Birmingham can win a trophy or 2 since the time we last won one then there really is no excuse.
Players come and players go. Part and parcel of football. What we have failed to do is not replace quality with quality. We replaced quality with youth project and it fucked up big time
I dont see any change. I thought i did with the 3 signing but it was too good to be true and we have got rid of 2 star players since and the Sunderland horror show didnt show a change in footballing style either.
