But that's the point in a way

Everyone was so in thrall to him getting us there that every single judgement call thereafter was almost universally feted.

However, a few began to realise that the emporer had no clothes when he signed Doherty and then with every week, the number grew ever larger.

It was only when we began the next Championship campaign so abominably that the number reached a tipping point.

Shame it took the Board another f**king year to get it though.
