But again I dont want to get too down on Kenny, on Commolli, on any of the players or on FSG or anything like that. I think given the success the club has had in it's history that we as fans tend to expect results, expect trophies and expect success. But our club has just come out of some it's darkest days and had back to back seasons where we finished 7th and 6th.
Look at City for example, they were given a sugar daddy so far in advance of our own and with so much more money yet they have still taken the best part of three years to become a threat to win the league and are now just enjoying their first taste of Champions League football. Success takes time and we expect it immediately.
We were coming back from almost going into administration, we had two horrendous, greedy owners who almost destroyed the club and drove away one of the finest managers in world football. Then replaced him with a moron who was horribly out of his depth who then bought atrociously.
FSG, KK and DC took on a club going backwards with many overpaid, useless spuds. Yet they have managed to move on and clear a hell of a lot of dead wood. Konch, Poulsen, Cole, El Zhar, N'Gog, Babel, Greek, Jovanovic, the list goes on and on. So the first round of buying players hasnt gone exactly the way we wanted it to. It was never going to happen overnight. There was no way FSG could just buy 5 or so players and suddenly we would win the league. It's going to a long fought out process of getting back to the top.
Many of you might say that we werent expecting to win the league but wanted a return to the top 4 but it has never been harder than it is now to finish in the top 4. You have established clubs in Utd and Chelsea, moneybags City and despite Arsenals shortcomings, are still a force to be reckoned with. Then you have Spurs who have just gotten better and better and better.
I think maybe were expecting a little too much and expecting it all to happen right now. I guess I expect that too and I think I have to realise like all of us on here that it's a going to take a few years before the whole FSG revolution can really pay dividends.
