His 30 year stint as chairman is more like 12 years of unprecedented achievement, followed by 12 years of hitting historical 'norms', the next 12 (of which we are halfway through) I am really hoping don't turn into 12 years of unprecedented failure.Appreciate our historic performance pre-Gibson but if anything shouts out from the Gibson years, it's money.
Roughly 10 years of gradual improvement, followed by 10 years or so as a top flight team (when we were punching above our weight financially) followed by 10 fairly fallow years where Gibson is now a small fish in a big pond.
Abramovich was 2003, looks like we held our own for a couple of seasons before more multi-billionaires joined the fun and we've struggled to compete since?
