    I would concur.

    2 x trophy success plus a CL qualification for the following season, all in the first season for a new manager.

    Cannot surely be anything other than a success.

    Probably yes, I think CL qualification is the yardstick by which success is measured these days.

    You and I may not agree but such is life.

    RIP football.
