Of course the season was a success but that misses the point.
We lost the title no fan in their right mind can be relaxed about that. The moving goalpost argument is simply proposterous unless you see football as something like a performance appraisal system in a company where you set targets at the begining of the year and get a bonus and pay rise if you meet them.
If that's how you see football vish then that's fine but personally I don't. I was gutted we did not win the title and will be so next year I know no other way I am also gutted but also relaxed because we are on the right path. Success is a process especially in the league where chance has less influence, it's almost always the team who deserves it more that wins it. It's through performance appraisal that you will know if you are on the right path or not. Let's call it a day, we are just different.

Remind me what we won this season?..
If we do reasonably well in the Champions League next season then that will count.
The team did quite well, but who remembers those who finished second? and in times past would Shankley or Paisley be happy?
I know, I know ... building, progress etc etc .... yawn...
Serious buying of quality players from Germany and Holland are required to bolster the first team.

Shankly and paisley I am pretty sure would be pleased with progress but angry we blew the title and would be aiming to win the title next year. Which was the culture that brought the club so much success

It took a couple of years even for Shanks to get his rebuild on course. To go from 7th to 2nd in one year, especially in this world of petro dollars, is a fantastic achievement. I agree with Stan, Bill and Bob would be pleased with the progress if upset with the stumble at the end, and I'm sure Rodgers feels exactly the same way. I expect to challenge again next year.

Are we now comparing greats such as Paisley and Shankley with a man who has never won a single trophy in his career and blew his one and only shot at the title. A lot of things went our way this season, this was our best chance in many years and we [oops] up badly. No cup distractions and Fergie retiring was a gift horse.
