I think the way Premier League has gone in the last few years and the general widening of finances between clubs clouds this view.
I've followed Saints for nearly 50 years and last season was my favourite since that 89 season with "4 up front".
So very few seasons between, were we ever really going to challenge for much? How many times did we get to the cups and it's all "We have to prioritise the league"
Last season we were chasing promotion and went up on the final day at Wembley!!!
For those of us who just want to see our team be in contention for things, whatever division, it was a great year π
