Project 'new stadium' wasn't thought of in October 2008 though was it? Prior to 2008 we had an extended run of European competition and a very near miss on Champions League football under Jol. We'd also just poached the hottest managerial prospect in Europe at the time. Doing a Harry Redknapp and making out we were Derby County in October 2008 and we suddenly became a good side is rubbish. We were in a false position and in the season you're talking about actually finished 8th.
You have a point. But it seems that you're not prepared to apply that point consistently.
The blip under Ramos rightly wouldn't have influenced the decision as to whether or not to proceed with the stadium project.
But the same is true of this disappointing season.
We need the new stadium. A few poor results and performances under an interim manager isn't going to change that.
