We are miles off a breakthrough into the elite.
Anyone who thinks hard work, ingenuity and a bit of luck gets you there whilst millions are disappearing behind the manager's back need their heads feeling.
One thing only will get us back to where we need to be
CASH....tens and probably hundreds of millions of pounds of it.
Dave I have a lot of time for ya mate, yanno that, but we are not 100's of millions of pounds off breaking into the elite mate, 50-60m well spent would be enough, just that most teams don't buy well
Spurs spent over 100m and made no blind difference to them - look worse than they have in the past few years easily, the rs for years have spent and spent and spent and if you look at their starting team right now for most games its not an expensively assembled one, due to the fact they spunked heir spent money up the walls on gash players for the most part
United invested 80m and pretty much wasted it on positions and players who just don't suit them - utter utter waste
we spent 13m on McCarthy who has improved us more than 80m has united or 100m has spurs
It's down to how money is spent and who on, not just picking a list of shiny names that are good on fifa like a lot of managers seem to do lately.
You are right though about if money isn't made available regardless of which eufa tournament we are in then we will stagnate eternally
