Pre Pulis we were an established mid table premier league club, we were finally lording it over and looking down on the seals. We were over achieving for our budget and finances, a bit of ambition and a couple of gambles might have taken us to the next level. Which would have been our ceiling level, financially, even with the extra Midland fans we could have taken from the seals and the dingles.
Instead we stood still, played it safe, struggled, the more we tried to stop the slide on a shoestring the more we slipped, then in a series of fire sales, we went for crisis managers, dinosaurs that were well past their best.
We stopped trying new talent, youth and finding out rough diamonds and went for misfits journey men and mercenaries, and the more we sank.
A massive re build, start with a new owner, then rebuild downwards, sort out the leakage of academy talent, improve scouting systems, and please please please get in footballers, with skill vision and a desire to play for the shirt. Finally a massive massive injection or pride and ambition.
Forever a baggie, albion til I die.
