I see nothing to make me change my mind that promotion will take 3 - 5 years. We were such a sick club at the end of Lerner's tenure it was inevitable that the healing process would be a lengthy one. The latest example of how unbelievably badly we were run is the discovery that Fox was paid £2.9 million a year. I am amazed that we avoided bankruptcy.Bruce will get us back but it will not be through the sunlit uplands of the Beautiful Game. It will be via the landfill site, past the abbattoir and twice round the gasworks.
Yep I think next season is our most important season in a long while and will probably shape Xia's reign.

I do think we are getting there and that just a few wise signings in key positions will make a big difference.

Bruce needs to get us going into games thinking 'we must win' rather than 'we should win'. There's a gulf of difference between the two.
