They said "Proud History, Bright Future". They didn't say which team. Norwich seem to be on the up. Perhaps them.

The 'Proud History' was always there.  The 'Bright Future' was the spin.

Feels like all the progress we made under MON has been for nothing.  Back to square one.

I don't care about:
stars on badges
renovated pubs
coaches to Chelsea
pictures of european cup winners team


I do care about:
losing our manager
selling our best midfielders
battling relegation


And I know I know, Randy and co have done much more than the above and have invested in players in the first 3 years. But we have not signed anyone (apart from being lumbered with Ireland) since the summer of 2009. I still want to know why MON left and why we have sold our best midfielders two years running. I am also a little tired of never hearing from Randy - why can't he show some leadership when its needed. He seems like a quiet Doug at the moment.

Yes i am worried about the mess we are in but i think we will come through it when we get our injured players back and some new signing's in.

I think losing our two best players has something to do with a 40 grand a week payrise.

I think we all know that MON left due to the Milner deal and the lack of funds without selling the likes of Sidwell and Co.

He is no Doug, but I agree; quiet is not good when we're sinking like the Titanic week by week.

To be fair, would you give MON the money to waste again?? The utter shite he spent on players to sit id the bench, if i was Randy id have told him where to go. Maybe the Ireland deal had something to do with KevMac trying to do something good for the club. As people mention he may just come good but thats another thread. I heard were getting 30 mil to spend in jan, which wouldnt surprise me. I say keep the faith and see how were doing in January
If you remember even O'Dreary took us to 6th in his 1st season when we were battling relegation at christmas time..

Hope you're right. And i am letting of steam more than anything else. I would have MON back in a heart beat though. Those thinking that Houllier was going to take us to another level reminds me of Charlton fans thinking that once Curbishley had gone they'd be able to challenge for the Champions League. And yes I know we're not Charlton, but we're doing a bloody good impression at the moment.
