re: Coach DeBoer is light years ahead of hiring Ray Perkins.

Except for ‘84 … and the last game sort of redeemed that LOL … we competed strongly under Perkins. We just didn’t dominate.

I have high standards and expectations, absolutely, start every year wanting to go undefeated and win the big trophy.

But after the last 17 years people have gotten so caught up in “if we don’t have absolute assurance that we’re going to dominate, it’s all over” … that IMO is the motivation for half the panicked threads on this board from people turning around in the floor seeking absolute clarity and certainty about what’s going to happen in September and October even though it’s the second week in January and it’s been, what, 48 hours since we introduced DeBoer … when what just happened was cataclysmic. Just like what happened in 1982 was cataclysmic. And things are going to have to play out and we’re going to have to let the guy we hired do what we hired him to do.
