Some of us have been predicting the downward spiral for a while. Not because of any other reason than you look at the people at the top and they never change. Such progressive failure normally is changed by different leadership. We keep trusting in the same people who got us into this shit to get us out. They won't. 3 seasons ago it was new manager who hadn't managed before, we then needed someone to undo that shit, then after a brief revival we apparently needed to sack that manager because he bought the wrong players, then we got another one who looked good on paper but turned out to be an apparent dud, we changed course again and went all bigger Blade with this one but the results are getting worse year after year.
The basis of selling your best players and replacing them with players from Bury, Oldham and Rochdale doesn't seem to be working. Who would have thunk it eh?
