Quote from: eamonn on May 30, 2023, 10:01:37 AMI remember DW bemoaning a few times early in the season that coming up to 5 years of being here, how further along we really were under the current ownership. Who'd 'a thunk that employing a genuine world-class manager for the first time in the history of our club would see such rapid progression? Sawiri's angry intervention at Craven Cottage last October shook this club by the lapels something fierce. Our lion roared (albeit in a new, different direction ) and this sleeping giant is now fully awake.And as I said when Emery was appointed, there were no doubts from then on.

And also had the financial clout to write off £40m...
There's a video of Nas, Wes and Emery walking along the front of the Holte. They all look delighted, but at one point Wes shares a glance with Emery and gestures as is to say the noise and cheering is unbelievable. If you see it you'll know what I mean. They must be thinking if we react like this to conference qualification what's it going to be like when we win a trophy? Days like Sunday must be brilliant for them and really send the message they are on the right track.

You could add Ramsey, Hogan, Mercer, Saunders and Taylor to the list.When you go for quality you're more likely to get results - all of this makes the Gerrard appointment seem even more stupid (and expensive) than it did at the time.

There were a few comments from some during January wondering if the owners had lost interest. I didnt get it personally. They were never going to bring in a manager as good as this one and not back him long term.

Disappointed the club haven't put anything out.
