I think we may be getting carried away a bit...

While it's great to be winning again and playing half decent stuff.....

PC has turned us from relegation certainties to a decent mid table champs form side.
Yes a massive improvement but in reality it took us back to where Hoff had us and below where Wagner had us.

Is this where a team who spent the kind of money we have should be?

Absolutely not.

We overpaid huge for Crnac and Jurasek to the point we haven't spent that kind of money since.
We have changed tack multiple times on managers.
I would hate to know how much it cost us to hire and fire all the managers and coaches this year alone. Must be close to 8-10m?
That's bigger than the transfer budget of some champs clubs?
