This is a comment I made in a different thread but I thought it might be an interesting subject for debate.
I'm leaning towards the thought that we should take couple of years to regroup somewhat, settle our squad and not have the usual turmoil during transfer windows.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have dominated over the last few years, however, one factor which will effect them, in my opinion, going forward, is their managers.
Ferguson and Wenger will move on/move upstairs/retire in the next couple of years and Chelsea will continue to change their manager every 2.738 seconds. This may lead to a time of instability for one or more of them and an opportunity for a team that's ready to take advantage - why should that not be us?
Some of you will remember Liverpool's domination of the game, a time when it was hard to imagine anyone else winning anything, ever again, however, times change, managers and players move on and then it's someone else's turn.
Some will say that the Champions League cash has changed everything and that the present monopoly can't be broken, but it can, and it will, time has proven that in the past.
Everything goes in cycles and change will come, we just have to be ready to take advantage when it does.
Will we be ready when the chance comes? Can we do it?
Why not take the Barack Obama attitude - "Yes we can".
