Well, it's not really about patience. The season we've just had is pretty much the template for the next five years. Try and squeak into the top four or six, waiting for one or two of the established clubs having a poor season giving us an in. We will continue to lose players to bigger and richer clubs.
There's nothing to be patient about because that's the plan for the next five years. If we achieve it we've done great. In five years time if Man U come in for a player of ours, they'll go. And that's fine.
If anyone is in any doubt, listen to the Les interview.
