If we have the right players then we can go far. I know it takes more than that to win it, but let's just get back into the competition first.

Pretty sure Comolli isn't without blame either.
Not sure who makes all the decisions, but with that major investment 4th is a must.

Here's a wacky idea.

How about lets wait to see how the season pans out before pointing the finger.

You define the word 'fickle'.

Man City spent WAY more than us and they missed out on 4th at the first attempt. They only managed CL qualification last season. Granted their squad was a lot worse than ours before the investment... but still, progress doesnt always happen overnight ya know.

I dont neccesarily think anyone will be "to blame" if we don't finish 4th. 3 teams are well ahead of us and Spurs are still a very decent side.

I do feel a little sad that after years competing in the CL - regular quarter, semi, finals' appearances and so nearly grabbed the title a few years ago, that this is where we are ... totally unsure that we'll nab the 4th spot. I know we've been wrecked by the yank :censored:

involvement and the landscape has changed with Citeh becoming another oil-rich country's plaything but still ... I think the investments will pay off (mostly - not sure about Adam or Henderson either, but hopeful) and that patience shall be rewarded. It still sometimes hits me like a rock to think that we haven't won the league in 21 years and the scum up the road have overtaken us.

Sorry - it's Monday; not feeling the brightest.

Have to blame the yanks for that. Always felt we were just a player or two short during the Benitez era. But the longer the lack of investment went on, the more unhappy others players became.

Need to move on from that now though... the level of teams in the CL is actually quite poor. If we finish top 4 this year i think we'd comfortably qualify for last 16 at least.

If Rafa was backed to get targets like our owners are backing Kenny now we'd be a major force. David Silva and Daniel Alves for starters would be wearing our shirt. We'd also have signed Simao back in the day instead of Jermaine Pennant.
