It’s truly bizarre that you see two trophies this season will bring in a relegation fight next season. When absolutely everyone in football believes that winning trophies leads to further success.
league performance is the most surefire indicator of future competitiveness, ours is rubbish, trending downwards and you don't wait for the crap to truly hit the fan.
Ramos and Graham were both mediocre/crap and the same goes for Jose.
Conte won an FA Cup, still left Chelsea immediately
LVG won an FA Cup, still left Man Utd immediately
Di Matteo won CL for Chelsea and his record was terrible in the league. sacked within months
Wenger won 3 FA Cups in his last 5 years and Woolwich got worse overall compared to their 2005-14 drought.
Dalglish won a league cup and was terrible for Liverpool in his 2nd spell
Martinez won a FA Cup for Wigan, got relegated, (only major trophy) they haven't been back since
Alex McLeish won a league cup for Birmingham (their only trophy ever), got relegated, haven't been back since.
The demands of modern football are such that only Leagues and CL's can cover up awful performances elsewhere.
