I think in a way it swings both ways, yes it's set us back but maybe, just maybe this was what was needed to wake us up a little and make the people behind the scenes realise that scraping the barrel and resting on laurels isn't the way to go and now is the time we actually start doing things quickly, efficiently and with a much improved outlook. I think we will be a great project for a new manager to step into, CL or not. This season will be the wake up call Roman and everyone needs, and I think Hiddink will be telling them exactly that, he's some what an outsider looking in and is a real football man and mind.
A new chapter is needed.
