Our blips become bliiiiips our players loss of form lasts too long and we need inspiration not persperation. We need fresh impetus, and the cheapest easiest solution is to bring in a manager who can get the best out of the players we have rather than moaning about the players we might have had if only he had another couple of hundred million.

They're not my views but it just strikes me that people talk as if we should be challenging all the while rating our squad as distinctly average. It doesn't add up.
