The reality is we completely messed up the succession planning after the Treble - partly because of Pep’s intransigence- but the Execs should have overruled him- the club is bigger than him. We found ourselves last season falling off a cliff as the old guard aged (and injuries robbed us of key players) and we’ve been scrambling around signing players left right and centre- and we’ve made too many signings in a short period of time, and it’s become difficult to integrate them - and we’ve become disjointed as a result. It’s going to be a challenging season, we are gonna struggle to make top 4, but hopefully we will see progress and we may challenge next year (although it may take longer). We had a position of ultimate power and we squandered it, we are now operating from a position of weakness and that’s on the club and the senior Execs. I trust in them to turn this around but it will take time. There are no silver bullets to fix this, we have to turn the players we’ve acquired into a winning machine again - and that going to take time. Patience and resilience is going to be required because we are not gonna be a top 4 club this season and we are going to have to work on long term solutions because there are no quick fixes - things are too broken for that.
