"I honestly never thought the club would go so long without winning the championship," said the former player and manager.
"When you look back it is hard to believe they have. I suppose you should look back and say `look at the amount we won and what we won'.
"But to think 1990 was the last championship we won, I don't think many people would have believed you if you had told them that back then.
"Everyone has hiccups in their history and this might just be a little bit we are going through with the transitional period but I don't think that will last too long."
