our next trophy was 1972/73, the league and the eufa cup in the same season...
a gap of 7 years.. the manager??? were we baying for his head?? no way....
ok , things change but we have to be patient. i dont think rafa should have gone but when he went ,our new boss becomes part of us!!! 6 months for roy, 3 years for rafa??
shanks had 7 years.... any regrets??????? dont think so.....
