Unlike some of our fans who even finishing 4th will be an affirmation of the genius of L'Ouisseau
Of course they'll be disappointed. But they have concrete evidence of a big jump forward, so they aren't going to view that as a failure despite the fact they didn't land the title (whew). Certainly, it will have whetted their appetites. They won't be expecting to hang around for the next decade waiting for the next title charge. There's only one club in football that finds stagnation acceptable.
