Again, not true. I've already produced a quote where he says the exact opposite. I gave the link above:

"For me, there are five 'trophies' – the first is to win the Premier League, the second is to win the Champions League, the third is to qualify for the Champions League, the fourth is to win the FA Cup and the fifth is to win the League Cup. I say that because if you want to attract the best players, they do not ask 'did you win the League Cup?', they ask you 'do you play in the Champions League?'."

He has turned this whole club into a losers club, where the players, where many fans and hierarchy are very happy to be 2nd best and 2nd rate, they're proud of it in fact, as someone said a 0-0 with Chelsea and a defeat to Man U at home are pointed out as if they were a trophy on the mantlepiece, 1 point out of 2 games, 5 dropped, a 16.66667% return is somehow something to be proud of.
That is a complete straw man argument. Who has said those two results are anything to be proud of? I do think failure is too easily accepted at the club BUT that is because the board define success in a different way to the fans.
