Now come on - you know as well as I do that everybody who can slow us down is trying to do so. From 19 clubs suddenly becoming impossible to deal with, to the constant moving of commercial goalposts, to using Forest and Everton as heads on spikes, we've been hit at every turn. But it's coming. To say it's failed is wildly inaccurate - the fact we are now posting commercial revenues about double that of Ashley just 3 years ago is the main sign. The pitch issues will be resolved when we've got a top 6 squad. We clearly don't. We probably don't have a top 6 manager. But this Summer we'll be 7th, commercially, catching up to Spurs.
If we're not doing better and finishing at least 7th next season onwards, heads will roll.
