People need to be honest here and think back. Up until the last few games of last season when everyone was still excited about Kenny, there were a lot of fools on here that thought we could win the league this year and that top 4 was a certainty.
My expectations, considering the money spent over the last 12 months were that we should finish 4th - anything less MUST be considered a failure. There is no reason why spurs, arsenal, chelsea or newcastle should finish above us and there can be no excuse if all 4 of them finish above us!
i am old enough to remeber a certain mr Ferguson spending huge amounts on players in his first two seasons only to be lambasted by his fans, finishing in the bottom half of the table having being just off bottom at christmas. Fans questioned hi reasoning shipping out quality players such as McGrath and Strachen. Replacing them with expensive potential players such as Phelan, Bruce, Parker, pallister, Webb, McClair. We as LFC just laughed at the time as the team bumbled along winning some losing others.
Amazing how the investment in youth paid off two seasons later, he just managed to keep his job thanks to Mark Robins goal in the cup. All of a sudden they charged past Liverpool and Arsenal then champions leeds. They also bought the best young players each season, Ince, Keane, Schmeichel. All led by the old hand Robson.
Having to invest heavilly but not on experienced players but those with potential. Are we not paying over the odds at the same time. Are we not also inconsistent, Are we being led by an old hand such as Robson(Gerrard).Are we not taking a similar journey?
