Comments like this can often be seen as hyperbole but I believe it to be true. The second city should have a huge football club and it does, the fan base and infrastructure are there.
The club has lacked belief for a long time. Even under Oniell and the backing of Lerner it was seen as a ride, something that we wouldnt keep up and we were pretenders and ultimately we were.
Mentality has a big influence, Sherwood believes we are big club, he believes he is a top manager and that together we belong at the top. Money does talk though and that mentality is not enough to get us winning championships again not that anyone expects us too.
It will push us forward, we have set out in games to win, be fitter, play with more desire and this will take us up the league. Will be interesting when we play some of the big boys again and how Sherwood approaches. I dont think he is niave and will just attack, he will demand that we compete, will be good see his tactics.
I think now in Sherwood and Tom Fox we have some people at the club who demand the best.
