Absolutely agree — it's clear that proper structure, ambition, and smart leadership have made all the difference. The current progress is a reflection of what was always possible with the right approach. It’s frustrating to think how much sooner this success could’ve come if the club had been run with genuine vision and intent back then. Thankfully, things are finally on the right track, and it’s exciting to see where this momentum will take us.

Yes, I was thinking that and wondering how much more the astute business man Ashley would have profited had he applied the correct principles, instead of greedily hiving off every penny he could in favour of Crap Direct.
