It smacks of them having some of these shirts before everything went flat, and that this was the best way to get rid of them.
Thing is.. we weren't even second best... in a race we should've won at a canter.

People seem to prefer to remember the last six games rather than the proceeding 40 though.

We were nailed on to lift that trophy and something went badly wrong.

We were nailed on to lift that trophy and something went badly wrong.Let's be fair though, altered a fair bit yet it still ended up being a successful season and that last few games only cost us a trophy. It could have been much worse, what if we'd missed out on promotion? Or do what Leeds did and miss the play offs entirely? It was still mission accomplished come the end of the campaign for Fergie and his team.
How many losing fa cup semi finalists are remembered? Yes over the season getting us back to where we should have been in the first place because we couldn't halt the tailspin in league 1 is to be aplauded. However I have never felt so flat with a promotion as I did at Hartlepool.
Nobody's said that it was a bad thing. What people are saying is a bad thing is having 9 digits on the trophy and somehow f**king it up. In the context of what we wanted to do at the start of the season, no it isn't a "colossal failure" as you put it. But from the position we were in, something clearly went badly wrong.
