Then we as a club have failed if we are not deemed a top club. We built the facilities, we built the infrastructure, we have epically failed on the footballing front. And yet the likes of Lange appear to have a job for life in spite of last season.
100%, next season we do need to stabilise but going forwards we should really be moving to a model where we consistently bring through youngsters. Thats why being in Europe is so important to have the games to do so, near enough all the best teams bring through youth players or at least use them as a way to get good transfer fees for them. A player not good enough for us that has 15-20 PL appearances is worth way more than someone who's been on loan a couple of time, we need to be better at using them as the back up players.
