How will we have known that we've taken that giant step?

Against what will it be measured?
We'll know when a £40mill striker turns up and we see steady competition with the top tier clubs for the top resources. That was the key purpose of this stadium move. A tin pot now is neither here nor there in the bigger scheme of things. Nice and unexpected and I certainly want it because it's there to be won, but it doesn't define anything related to the plan the club has been engaged in over the past 8 years. Titles and CL pots is what we want surely, with of course the odd trinket like the FA Cup or Littlewoods Milk McDonalds Bubblegum Cup thrown in for entertainment. Charity Shield too, why not? Golden boots, POTY awards, the lot. But the FA Cup this season isn't a herald of great things to come. Cash on the table and big signings will be a far better way to judge where this club is heading.
