We were CL challengers two decades ago, EPL challengers a decade ago ... where are we now? Struggling for fourth and playing Thursday night football. You snooze you lose, we need to wake up.
As for 'decide the direction the European game needs to go in' we are abject failures in Europe, just two trophies in our history. Spurs, Villa, Forest, West Ham, Newcastle and yes Leeds all have as many or more European Trophies. We need to compete with the big clubs in the big pond, not just win a bunch of domestic trophies ... that requires our club to have a footballing ethos from the top to the bottom, which is why a proper backroom overhaul is long overdue.
You can sit happily staring at your navel saying 'we're to big to fail' many have done that before, it never ends well.
How is it head up arse?? Its never going to happen EK. We have too much money and too many fans for something like that to happen to us. We are not susceptible to changing market forces like tech or retail firms. We don't have to worry about the economy, we have been through numerous economic dips and come out the other side just fine. Our history of spending only what we make makes us one of the most financially stable clubs on earth.
We have NEVER been relegated, why would you think it would happen now?? Hence why I say we will never collapse like Leeds or Portsmouth et al, we are on an entirely different level to those clubs and have been for all of our football life.
We were relegated to the 4th division in 1913
We could end up like mighty portsmouth
