How long do we give them? Do we just continue that cycle until we get lucky? As for your question l don't know but l don't think we have much of a choice but to back him unless we have something special up our sleeves. Well, Murty could be a success at his third attempt?!

Win three of them and the gap is down to three points. Who knows what could happen and what the gap will be come May, we could still end the season with a better points tally than most years we've actually won the title. I'll be honest, at the start of the season, I'd have taken going last 16/last 8 in Europe over winning the League Cup. Trophies are great but, in the grand scheme of things, getting to where we have in the EL is worth far more to the club than winning either cup. By what measure has the standard of teams gone backwards since last season? You'd chose a longer stay in europe over ending their treble domination?

Europe is great and financially it's very good but every single person would have gladly took us going out in qualifying to win the league title this year. Anybody who says otherwise is a clear liar! We spent just over £10 million. Trying to make the sum larger discredits your argument. And I could see the point you were making if the season was over and we'd finished just 9 points better off but we get our finger out and we could still beat their points tally from last season. You can't deny that progress, if it happens. Again, the season's not over. We're in March. You seem to be quick to highlight our points tally difference, exaggerate our spend and talk about the gap as if the season's completely done and there's no games left. While it sits at 12 points the now if we win our game and hand and beat the scum twice that's 3 points behind a celtic team that have had £20 million spent on it this season alone. Again, would be clear progress. Or we could get our act together and reach 90+ points. No one's said different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap in finance that's used as an excuse is far superior between AZ and Ajax than it is to us and the scum FYI. 🙄 Had a nosey. Far more competitive league with teams taking more off each other than here. Their points achieved as a % available is less than ours, considerably less than the scums. That suggests Ajax are underperforming in terms of their performance rather than others over performing. Unsurprising given weakened by loss of last season's star players. How is AZ win record in say the last half dozen games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
