This is the period in the clubs recent history where we made a huge mistake and I fear we are starting to see the result.

Let's roll back to 18 months ago.....

We were sitting pretty in the league, even talk of challenging for the title

The club were in the knock out stages of the champions league.

We had just come off the back of destroying the European champions at white Hart Lane.

We had the player that everyone was talking about in Gareth Bale

We were playing some amazing football.

I think it's safe to say that the club had never been as high profile since the days of Gazza and Lineker.

THIS WAS THE TIME TO REALLY PUSH ON.

Everyone knew we needed a world class striker to really kick on but for some reason we didnt. We surely would of been an attractive proposition at that time for some truly world class players.

I don't know whether Levy or Harry was to blame but I remember thinking at the time this could be a huge mistake.

We ended up finishing 5th and winning f all again. Massive opportunity missed.

Even more so than last jan when we signed Saha and Nelson instead of what we actually needed. Because I honestly don't think we will be as high profile as we were 18 months ago.
