I’m being completely honest here, at the end of last season I shared similar thought briefly, since the disruption and tight schedule means this season would inevitably be unpredictable.
The issue here is, we blew our chance by not ditching the Europa to have some rest and a semblance of a pre-season. Now obviously it’s easy in hindsight to say so and most of the fan base would laugh at the notion of ditching a competition when it was only 3 games until silverware, but if we were to have a proper run this season, being well prepared and hit the ground running to build momentum is important, especially as we were running on fumes the last few fixtures the previous season. With the start we had, the transfer activities and the atmosphere around the club at the moment, that’s most likely out of the question, even more so if you are of the opinion that Ole isn’t up to snuff.
