Its clear that there isn't one. Poor decisions have been made across the board and we're paying the price for it. Time for some to accept it, for some to man up and for all to put their best foot forward and get the next set of decisions right.
On the board: they've led us to this point and are running out of managers to scapegoat. Shown by he that won't speak anymore speaking this week and he that won't stop talking on social media stopping. The club is on the verge of losing vast numbers on the gates and they know it.
On the players: we have about six in the squad at various stages or their career/development that are worth keeping. Start the process of moving the rest on as quickly as possible. They try but haven't the talent or nous to succeed at this level. They're all passengers and should be plying their trade lower down. It could take some time to get it done and those coming in to replace have to be much better (that last bit is the critical part to end the cycle).
On the manager: I like him a lot as a person and man manager and do not advocate sacking yet another. I am however rapidly losing faith. Much as our squad has clear deficiencies, so do a lot of other squads in the division. It's a very very poor league and someone with his cv and core to the team he has should be able to place in the top six without breaking sweat. He is failing at his job and we should very carefully consider if he's the right man for next season onwards in order to rebuild.
The only thing that's clear is that there are numerous problems with numerous answers. The balance of which are in the hands of the owners. My message to them.....start getting it right or you'll be forced to cover even more running costs. My guess....17,000 if you're lucky next year and it will be a slippery slope from there.
