Entering year 3 next year. Rickys window is basically closed after that, no playing group can buy into what he is selling for more than 3 years. The whole "its all the refs fault" and "my players aren't good enough" would be wearing thin on the players about now. Id say things will really turn to shit next season or the one after, he has recruited fairly well so that might extend it a bit but eventually Rickys mentality will wear the squad down.
