to ops question , i dont think they will and i hope they dont. It doesnt matter who is better than who on paper it takes time and i think we are ahead of schedule anyway. It takes time to build something really special and it is coming .... patience is a virtue. (god knows another year isnt going to matter is it?) i have been going since 1969 and i honestly do feel that we will have something really really mind blowing in a year or two. It wont come (and continue for a sustained period ) without stability and one vision throughout the playing staff and coaches takes a long time to endue. people will say but we've spent this much and we have so and so... but that is just what the rag press regurgitate and want us all to react to. Real dominance takes time to build and sustain it will come...... (i honestly believe this) .
soz for long post.
