I've been thinking back to pre season........I was so excited last summer.........the appointment of Martin Allen, the signing of 14 new players...........the fact that, it seemed the club were destined for good things again and then what happens..............we lost our opening game of the season 1 nil to Blackpool at home having played rubbish!!
I now look where we are, languishing in the relegation zone of the championship, unable as we were on the first day of the season to score a goal, with an even better squad of players that we could have ever imagined and I have to ask myself.......where did it all go so wrong?
There are actually amazing parallels between our season and Newcastle Uniteds season at the moment. Both have relatively new owners, both have likeable managers, both have chopped and changed managers over the past few seasons, both have an incredibly loyal and passionate fan base, both teams on paper are a side to be reckoned with but alas both teams are in freefall.
And why is this - both teams have players that don't care. They are paid incredible sums of money to play for a club for which they have no understanding. No more Linekers, no more Shearers just players who take their money and run about for 90 minutes on a Saturday.
You can blame Holloway if you want, its not his fault. The players have to be blamed. Quite simply they do not give a shit about our football club and this will be reflected on how quickly most of them leave if we do get relegated. We have no more Taggarts, no more Elliots, no more Izzets to depend on and I do believe that this is why both Newcastle and Leicester are so alike in their reletive positions.
And I had such high hopes at the start of the season!!
