Aiming for fourth every season as we do and getting it showing no ambition for improvement or aiming higher or the title, not winning it but getting CL qualification anyway cos we finish top 4?
What's the difference?
Signings of intent.
Both end with 4th place. Theres literally no difference how you get there apparently, just where you end up.
It's not the same thing.
If we had shown ambition in the past we may have mounted a proper title challenge or maybe even won one (07/08 perhaps when we ran out of steam or 13/14 ).
There would be a lot less angry fans if we actually looked like we were trying our best to win the title and failed instead of clearly doing the bare minimum and aiming for fourth place from the get go.
There is a difference between making 4th place our goal and doing our utmost to win but falling short.
Exactly this.
