I have always appreciated the way the THFC has been run. There has been frustration surrounding a lack of silverware from certain sections of our fanbase. However, our progress under ENIC is undeniable. We have steadily progressed from being in a pack of nearly teams with Everton, Villa and Newcastle to being genuine title contenders. You only have to look at the fates of Newcastle and Villa to appreciate just how well the club has been run. However, the time to invest is now!
We will face a massive battle to hold onto our best players and the best manager in the world if we fail to demonstrate an ability to match their ambition. If we hold on to what we have, and strengthen then we become world class and win titles/trophies and become Champions League regulars. We move into our new stadium as a genuine world class club.
The odds of assembling a squad as good as ours and finding another manager as good as the one we have now is astronomically high! It just will not happen. If we fail to strike now then we throw away the greatest opportunity we will ever have to turn ourselves into a commercial powerhouse through success. Manchester United don't have billionaire backers, they have a massive fan base through success.
This is the model we should ultimately be following! They were once in the same position that we are now. A young and brilliant team with a British spine and a young, hungry and brilliant manager. So there is only one option.... back the manager and the squad you have now or rue this missed opportunity forever...
