Serious question.
I was lucky enough to see us become champions in 85 and 87. I know there's people on here who saw us win it in 70 and also 63.
However, there are younger people in here who have either only see us win one trophy (the FA Cup in 95), or not seen us win anything at all.
Although winning a cup is fantastic, for me it doesn't somehow create the same feeling of challenging for the title, and being the number one team over the season.
The way football has become since Sky, and the massive money it generates, it saddens me to think that we can't compete at the moment to even get in the category of 'title challengers', let alone winning it.
I remember the 70s and 80s, where lesser known sides challenged from nowhere. There's absolutely no chance anyone could currently win the Premier League the season they are promoted, such as Forest in 78, without a significant money advantage.
Unless the arse falls out of football, I can't ever see us challenging or winning the title again, unless we get bought out by a sugar daddy.
So the question is, how long will it take, and what will it take, for us to experience the buzz of us as champions again?
