When HRH came in McCabe milked it with the fans talking about PL and Europe in 5 years unless someone wants to correct my aging memory. That was circa 3 years ago.

Can we do it in the next 2 years?

If not where do you predict we will be in 2 years time at the end of his ambitions timescale?
 



Europe in 5 years was when we went to the premier league.

KM talked about game changing investment and an aim to get back to the premier league. Tiered investment with a big lump when we go up to the championship.

That's it in a nutshell from the Sheikh coming in....very ambiguous and says very little, leaving a lot open to personal interpretation.
 
Ambitious....intending to do better...good intentions. Not necessarily being active.

  1. having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
    "a ruthlessly ambitious woman"
    synonyms: aspiring, determined, forceful, pushy, enterprising, pioneering, progressive, eager, motivated, driven, enthusiastic, energetic, zealous, committed, go-ahead, go-getting, purposeful, assertive, aggressive, hungry, power-hungry; More

synonym is a word or phrase that means nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language. Words that are synonyms are said to be synonymous, and the state of being a synonym is called synonymy. The word comes from Ancient Greek syn (σύν) ("with") and onoma (ὄνομα) ("name").



The second part of the meaning regarding the plan?? More accurate of the club maybe?
 
We went over this on a 50 page thread the other day...But...

- The game changing investment was stated when the Prince came in (2013)
- Target initially was promotion
- Game changing investment statement then clarified after we didn't get promotion, to say that it would kick in when we got to championship
- 2nd Cup run (2015) pre spurs Phipps/ Baki talked of wanting more nights like this in the cups.
- Promotion target missed again - Cup success idea scrapped.
- Now its all about the league only. Promotion Only.

To take us out of the division.

We just didn't know it would be to League 2.

I'm guessing you write for The Star then.
 
Is the Prince still involved with the club or did he throw the towel in when Jim left? Not heard anything from him for a long time now.
 
Bet the Prince is sick to the back teeth of showing ambition.

SUFC: Remember how great Brayford was loan for us well if your lend us 1.5 million
And we pay him about 10K a week in wages we'll definitely get promoted because he's the best full back outside the PL.
Prince: OK then, if he's the best then we'll show some ambition and get him.

SUFC: We've been doing it all wrong, most of the budget should go on the manager not the player.
Prince: Really, in my country we just have coaches.
SUFC: The best manager ever has just become available called Nigel Adkins. He wants loads of money but he'll be worth because if we get him then it's promotion gauranteed, just look at his cv. Also it will also show how ambitious we are which will boost season ticket sales.
Prince: OK if you say so
SUFC: and as part of the deal with Adkins we can bring back his sidekick and big crowd favourite and legend Billy Sharp. He'll want big wages and a pay off to release him from Leeds Utd but he's the best in the business in league 1, just look at his record.
Prince: OK I suppose if you want the best then you have to pay for it. As long as we get promoted like you say this season then here's the money.
SUFC: Adkins now says we have a light weight midfield but he knows the answer. He's identified this PL player called Hammond. We have to pay about £15K towards his wage but Nigel knows him well and says he's fantastic and will virtually guarantee promotion.

I bet the Prince is getting fed up of being sold a pup.
So when we say to him "this Sam Morsey is brilliant honest and lend us a bit more for Lavery, even the Wednesday fans say he's good" bet the Prince thinks back to when we tried to convince him how great Higden, Sammon, Woolford and Hammond were. Bet he can't believe how poor these highly rated and highly paid players were.
 
My favourite line was when they said we wont have to sell our best players anymore. Which, if true, means they actively want to make us shitter.

I always love the double think of footballing chairmen when it comes to this. "We don't have to sell, but when a big offer comes in and a player's head is turned you can't turn it down.".

As far as ambition goes, I've fancied Natalie Portman since I was twelve. I even had a five year plan. Now I'm turning thirty and I haven't even fingered her behind the bike shed. My motto was "Think Buscemi, not Pitt".
