Another one backYou all said Ashley was such a good owner so surprised to see you are all sad he has gone. Strange. Pre Ashley you had to watch us mags challenging at the top end of the league and in Europe more often than not. He has had his boot on our neck for 14 years and you still couldn’t manage to finish ahead of us more than a few times. Now he’s gone you know we are going to be back pushing Europe like we used to pre Ashley.
And for the poster who was on about us having a superiority conplex, yes we do. We see ourselves as bigger than most clubs. Like when we went down to the championship we said we don’t belong here and we are gonna p**** it and we did. If we never I doubt we would have got a takeover like this. If we were happy with a small time mentality of coming 16th in the PL maybe we wouldn’t have got this takeover. PIF know we want and expect a club of our size to be pushing the top 6.
We are worlds apart as a fanbase,we see ourselves as a club that should be in Europe like we used to and you see yourselves as no bigger than a Birmingham or Ipswich etc. Now we are worlds apart as clubs ( not that we weren’t already.) likes of some of our past players such as Solano, Laurent Robert, Asprilla, Ginola etc are better than anything you lot have ever had in your entire history. Never mind likes of Shearer.
You had to watch us from 94-2006 in Europe most seasons while you mostly floated about the wilderness with a team of cloggers and that’s what’s ahead the next decade too. Can see us reaching 200 games in Europe before you ever add to the 4 you played in the 70s![]()
