Delusions of grandeur

That's their problem. A nice ground with lots of fans doesn't win trophies, you do that by giving a manager longer than five minutes. I get the feeling that this time they've really shot themselves in the foot as far as getting another decent manager on board is concerned. A poisoned chalice doesn't begin to describe it.
