Indeed mate. There seems to be some on here who, incredibly after 2 seasons worth of evidenc believe we can start targeting top half again. It's fantasy.The culture at the club is rotten, you can see that in seasons of two half's when a component manager came in and clubbed together performances.
Self awareness is required because - we are that bad on the pitch - we are that bad off the pitch and the club is a skip fire - and it badly needs a leader.
We are in a league of 11 down next season, progress will be process rather then an event, it will and should be incremental - those with ambitious of competing for Europe next season just aren't realistic - we've tried throwing money at instant success it doesn't work, it has no substance, the only think that has substance is building and taking a step up the ladder.
Being realistic about our problems and limits isn't being unambitious, being realistic is the only way to achieve ambition incrementally. We've been here before with Moyes - we know the drill.
Anything else is bananas.
Our way to salavation is to become solid and safe. 40+ points every season for the next few seasons. Stabilise. Get that stadium opened and then attract investors...and when I say investors Ilm not talking about sharks like MSP, I'm talking about oil wealth pumping billions in.
We are a north west giant...the only one left for serious exploitation for whatever purposes. It's inevitable that Everton at the docks will get that takeover - but only if we're in the top flight.
