Still doesn't take away what was achieved in 2002 with an £8m wage bill. I think ours is £38m now according to the commentator the other night.
Expectations should be higher now.
Football has changed though:
Record British transfer 2002 - £30m.......2018 £90m
Average weekly wage 2002 - £16k........2018 £37.5k (or there or thereabouts)
Megson did a great job with the resources available, no doubt, but Moore is doing an equally great job, albeit under different circumstances.
Our expectations are definitely higher, and rightly so, but, to most of our fanbase at least, Moore is at the very worst, "on target", for me he is well above what I expected.
Personally, whilst I admired Megson greatly, I didn't like the football so the fact that Moore is doing it with a bit of style makes it all the more enjoyable.
