Did you consider us to be such "failures" when we were playing in the Champions League ?
The same person(s) appointing Souness and Roeder after having appointed Robson should tell you enough about the general trajectory we were on under Shepherd.

Incidentally, you keep harping on about how Shepherd should receive credit if Allardryce is successful, for appointing him. Apparently not though, that'll be those major shareholders who get credit for that, yep?
