Now surely that is majorly unrealistic in the extreme. Not only that, when my first league game came round at home to Birmingham the bookies claimed they couldn't see anything but a Brum win. Now which am I, useless or title challengers according to the game??

So I presume I face the prospect that if I do very well this season and next, say maybe finishing top six both times, I will be sacked for not winning the title then?
Did you, by any chance, changed the expectations at the start of the season in order to get a larger transfer kitty?

No pal.

They offered me £20mil budget for a mid table finish this season which I was more than happy with so left it at that.

Can't see how I'm gonna still be in a jop come the end of season two.

He was being sarcastic. What he actually meant was "the game is broken, it's not your fault."
It's not your tactics . . .
