For what it's worth I only think the club's stature comes into it for the biggest clubs. Clubs like Liverpool and United can attract the best when they're **** purely cos of who they are. I don't think that applies to any other clubs in England.
Not having CL football is a major disincentive for our recruitment right now. It’s where we need to get back to. We’re still a big club, which I why I say we ‘should’ be competing for the top 4. I still think DCL would be tempted if Arsenal seriously came in for him.
The point is, that when people were moaning about Wenger ‘only’ getting top 4, I was saying that it was still a good achievement, especially given those circumstances that you mention. Ie paying for the stadium, having to sell our best players and having a limited transfer budget. I said at the time we could drop a lot lower than 4th, which is where we are now.
Yes but you could have also gone higher, if your board didnt keep hiring spastics and buying **** players
Bloody hell, I thought Fosse had highjacked Piskie’s account with all this deluded “should” bollocks.
That would almost be as bad as telling everybody that Carlo would win a pot and beat Klopp before he left.
