True, and if we ever want to be anything more than that, we need a top manager to make it happen. Just like Brian Clough started the glory years last time around.
As I have said before, if Tony Bloom only wants "ok" (like some of our non-leage fans appear to want), then give Russell Slade a bit longer to make the team "ok" - who knows, they may even make the playoffs in a couple of years?
However, if Tony Bloom actually wants to us to reach the Premiership, then, unfortunately, Russell Slade will never be the guy to achieve it - really nice guy that he is!
Clough helped our profile but Peter Taylor probably did more for us. Alan Mullery was a former Spurs skipper who got sold to Fulham and was hungry to prove himself as a manager. To me Mullery is probably still our best ever manager (first time around,mind you).
At the moment I'll take Slade's record over that of Ken Bate's little friend any day.
