It is inevitable that they will start to fade at some point. Their reliance on Rooney is all too clear to see and the shortage of funds to regenerate his squad will add to the pressure.
If he starts to be percieved as failing, the rags will soon get on his back. There have been several times over the years when we have heard the beginnings of anti taggart rebellion and mutterings.
Let him fail, slowly, as we overtake them...far more fun....for us.
You're right John, they are already getting on his back. On top of that, the media started on him earlier this season for his outbursts and they seem to be starting up again.
Write that man off at your peril. There's been several occasions when everyone thought he lost it by selling some player or signing another - but he's continued to prove people wrong. I don't think I'll ever believe there's an end until he leaves The Swamp in a Box. They've already won a trophy this season and are still challenging for the Premiership. And all 4 English Clubs didn't make the Champions League Semis so that's more of a general problem than down to one specific Club.
The Press have been on him for years. He refuses to deal with most of them so they throw whatever they can in the hope that something sticks.
