Negatives: Poor performances in the domestic cup and in the Europa League that fell way below expectations, the manager Shalimov as described above really holding the team back and finally missing a real opportunity this season to
genuinely challenge for the league title considering the problems affecting CSKA and Spartak's slow start to the season.
our managers stubborness and reluctance to spend seems to have our fans split right down the middle... i
genuinely believe its not the fact that he thinks the squad is good enough its more that hes trying to prove that you do nt need to buy success and by god if it takes him 10 years
for this bunch to mature enough to do it hel keep us suffering so he can turn and say «told ya so» to fergie, rafa, hughes, abramovich, etc.the problem is by the time this happens theyl have won
titles by spending the question is are all you fans on the other side of the argument willing to wait that long and watch cesc, RvP, arshavin, cliche etc go elsewhere
for momentos of their careers.in the time since our last
league triumph (also last serious
challenge) the team that has won the
league most has invested in berbatov, nani, evra, vidic, carrick, hargreaves, anderson, tevez to name a few....
