to us as the only possible way we would be able to compete with the top clubs. Back then that pretty much meant Man Utd.
This year, 6 years after moving in, we sold our only world class player for a pittance to the very club our increased revenue was supposed to allow us to be competitive with and are now competing only with the rest for mid table supremecy.
It is time for change.
And if anyone actually believes the enforcemant of FFP will make a difference ask yourselves how effective the game rulers have been when dealing with enforcing change in other aspects of the game. The wealthy clubs have always wagged the dog, never the other way around.
So for our club to be relying on aspects outside their sphere of influence for success is probably the most naive thing I've heard since the story of the frog and the scorpion crossing the river.
Can't deny I'm massively upset at the way things are unfolding this season.
Not as staunch a defender of AW as I once was, that's for sure.
