I wouldn't say that as such mate - I think fans need to accept two things though at present:
1. FFP problems means we cant attract a top level manager and back them with the dough they would want.
2. Whilst BMD is being built the owners wont be fussed if we aint fighting for top 6/trophies they'll just want a midtable team bringing in the PL Tv money.
I've always said finishing 9th or 13th means little to me - unless you're winning trophies or qualifying for europe midtable is midtable.
Now if Ancelotti cant get european football why do people think someone like Lampard could?
Benitez is EFC manager and I have no problem with that for the next 12-18 months whilst our financial situation is sorted/stadium financing is in place and the grounds on its way to being built.
