seriously? ur having a laugh aren't you?
Apart from Houllier and Wenger name someone who's done that? As for Wenger he went to an arsenal side that had a whole defence and and a keeper who'd played together for years... Houllier had practically f##k all apart from a few kids.
Your expectations are unrealistic.
1st season - start clearing out the squad and bringing in your own players and starting to set a style of play.
2nd season - try and bring in improvements and improve the squad size mainly looking at younger players with potential.
3rd season - with an established style start adding class players into the system aswell as trying to develope the youth.
4th season - start looking to finish in a CL place and looking to be a good cup side capable of beating anyone on there day. looking for consistency now aswell. the style of play should be established and in place with most of the right players.
5th season - starting to look a side capable of challenging and having the core of the squad in place, just needing minor tweaks to adjust and the odd player and some silverwhere expected maybe injuries and suspensions permitting.
6th season - good enough to win the championship or at least mount a serious challenge.
7th season - same as 6th. the squad should be complete and looking to be improved further for europian dominance.
HOW ABOUT SEASON 10,11,12 ARE THEY ALSO GOING TO BE THE SAME
ITS 5 YEARS AND NO SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT BAR THE CUPS SEASONS AGO BUT WE,V GONE BACKWARDS SINCE ARE WE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IMPROVING
HOW LONG DO WE WAIT
HOW MANY CHANCES DO WE GIVE
