Standing still is going backwards right?

They really are giving PhD's away to anycunt these days
Standing still means not investing in the team to make it better. Even Man City who blew everyone away last season signed another attacking midfielder to add to the many they already have
Bill Nic was always active in the transfer market. He created the great double team. He could have simply rested on his laurels and said fcuk buying anyone else after all his team had just won the double, how could he improve upon that. But what did he do, he went and signed Jimmy Greaves for a British record sum.
We peaked two seasons ago. A shame Chelsea was so strong.

So, win the Double, sign Greaves for a record fee, dont win the Double (or even title) ever again.
How does this work again?
And didn't have European football.
Well we had but we were terrible. Going out against genk was a joke
It's a shame that two of our greatest seasons were during a time when Leicester won the league, a freak season that'll likely never happen again, and Chelsea had no European football.
Since then, our players have all gotten a bit older, a bit more complacent, Guardiola has transformed City, Liverpool look stronger than ever and 2 key components of those teams are leaving within 9 months.
We'll get out of this 'mess' and we'll go on a strong run. We always do. Just need to make sure we can capitilise when others around us drop points. I don't think the title is on, but top four is well within our reach. Man Utd don't look very good at all. Woolwich are Woolwich. - Chelsea, City and Liverpool look likely to all finish top four based on early results but remember in Liverpool and Chelsea's case, it's about how you react after your first loss.
Ok it was a massive mistake in signing Greaves
Bill Nic should have passed up the chance to sign one of the best finishers in the world because he should have realised that his teams would not win a league title with Greaves in the team

Not at all. Simply pointing out that record signings don’t mean more success.
Unless not winning the Double with Greaves is better than winning it, without him.
It’s between us and united for the final spot on the champions league.
Win Britains first Euro trophy that's how it work.
Half scarves should be banned anyone on this Forum caught wearing should receive a lifetime ban
Who has actually said Poch out?
We’re not plucky little Tottenham anymore
We’re a top 3 side and had a good CL last season and were desperately unlucky to go out
Poch will sort this
Actually Greaves was signed in the January of the 61/62 season. Who knows, maybe if he had arrived before the season started we may have won the title again
I think throughout history managers have always tried to improve upon what they have. Whether they previously won the title or avoided relegation it is extremely rare for a club not to sign anyone ahead of a new season.
Yet we won Britain’s first ever Double without him, and most of the same squad were there in 63.
Suggests to me that Euro Glory wasn’t solely because we signed Greaves.
Otherwise what happened in 64,65,66,68,69 and 70 then?
Like John you’d have been slagging off the club in those seasons screaming how Mackay is shit now
Don't be silly , the Bill Nicks years were full of glory , they were winners unlike today but the club was built to challenge for silverware not just for revenue as today .
I’m fully aware of what that era was.
I’m pointing out that there probably a few entitled cunts in the fan base back then though, crying that we had regressed by the end of the 60s...
Probably a few in the 50s too who thought we were taking too long to repeat the title success of 51 and the squad was shit.....
