Makes it sound like we've spend a decade in the doldrums.

In fact, 4 seasons ago we were in the playoffs, 3 seasons ago we were in the top 6 and fell away at the end after McCarthy got his contract. We started badly the season afterwards and never recovered for the next two seasons with a raft of shit managerial appointments even if we had some decent players. So we've had 2 dud seasons. For me, the fact that Bulut got us to finish 12th says as much about how bad Morison and Hudson were.
We had parachute money when we were finishing in or near the playoffs - we really should have been more competitive than we were given the unfair advantage we had.
Take that away and we are amongst the also rans at best
