Not jinxed but burdened with unrealistic expectations.
We used to be amazing and our heritage still counts, but only so far.
We have similar early history and profile to sides like Villa and Arsenal. The main difference being we carried on winning stuff.
But after the mid 80s Villa went properly south, Arsenal improved and we stagnated.
It comes down to relative financial competence and management standards throughout the club.
The Johnson era followed by the Kenwright Age ruined us and I fear we will never get back up where we should be again in my lifetime.
