The 5 Year Plan

You can argue all day about share but the reality is that everyone from Randy down has to take some of the blame and along with it responsibility for ensuring that they all do better next season.

I'd say that's about right.

Remember, at the time everybody was feverishly talking about Champions League, this was the first sign that we were not going to make the signings that would get us there.

Sorry, but who was talking about CL in a summer after finishing 11th? 

Sorry, but many on here were talking about Champions League, the minute Randy took over.

That's true.

But then Man City, with all their resources, have shown it takes time to get there.

We were never going to get there quickly, but Marlon Harewood certainly wasn't going to help us get there.
We needed an out and out goalscorer at two important periods, O'Neill gave us Harewood and then Heskey.
