    Of course there are other ways to **** up, nobody is denying it. I think a few of us would even be happy to fail in a different way for a little while, just to make it interesting.
    In other words, no club (whether they've stuck with the same manager or chopped and changed every year or two) has managed to successfully challenge the hegemony of clubs that have either been financially doped or have come from a historical base of being a far bigger and richer club.

    But if the opposite it true, you're telling people that, if there is a chance of failure, one shouldn't try.

    We didn't build an empire without trying and occasionally failing.

    Do or do not. There is no 'try'.

    A wise man said that.

    Or it might've been Yoda out of Star Wars now I think about it.

    One certainly shouldn't try to fail; one should be encouraged to succeed. But there, you've excused failure even while attempting success. And there's no need for it.

    Either we get it right, or we get out, needs to be the message.

    I didn't know Leicester was a race. It's racism gone mad, I tell you; everyone is trying to get in on it now
