It was the same at Leeds after Revie left, albeit they should have won the European Cup within a year of his departure under Jimmy Adamson.

When you've had somebody bigger than the club who eclipses its' history it seems to take well over a decade to get over the loss.
Liverpool might have suffered similarly had they replaced Shankly with an outsider instead of the continuity.
