Saw a similar thread elsewhere and thought worth of a topic of discussion.
We were beaten 2-1 at home by Blackpool.
We had 6 points from 7 league games.
We had Roy Hodgson as manager
We'd signed the likes of Jovanovic , Poulsen and Konchesky
We were about to get beaten in the local derby and be told by our manager that it was the best performance of the season.
Our owners were about to default on loans, were desperately scrabbling around looking for some financial mug to lend them more and place even more debt upon us, and we were close to administration.
But 3 days we were to hear that the club had potentially been sold and the two odious fuckers had been essentially overruled in the boardroom leading to a further tense fortnight of courtroom drama and internet guerilla warfare which ultimately led to our club being sold to John Henry & friends.
Now I know we don't have a perfect team at the moment and we have a long way to go. If look back less than 12 months ago and take a view of where we are today to where we were then we've made a massive leap forward. I don't even think we've kicked into gear yet this season either. I'm really hopeful as to what we can achieve in the next 12 months time. We've come on leaps and bounds. We're no longer a laughing stock and we WILL become a force to contend with !
