Well, at least that should put an end to all the talk about who we play & who we have a chance against & who will & will not have something to play for maybe.
This was supposed to be the big chance to put pressure on the teams around us. It was all over within 20 minutes.
We've drawn games with complete shite & then been hammered off the park by an average team with nothing to play for.
The simple real life maths of that = we are complete shite.
Everything we built our success on has been abandoned in an attempt to be like everyone else. The football obsession with conformity to the accepted model.
Fast, high energy & direct - gone
Efficient transfer policy - gone
Superior sports science & medical depts - gone
Leadership on & off the field - gone
Refusal to accept defeat - gone...& in fact reversed. We are the weakest team in the entire league mentally. The slightest setback & they collectively give up. They've been ringing their agents looking for moves since February.
We're absolute ****ing rubbish & deserve to go down. I'd say it about a team I didn't support that played this way so I'll say it about my own. & absolutely none of it was in any way inevitable. Complete & utter mismanagement from the board down.
I blame them entirely. Any half decent board would have sacked el ****o a year ago. But the ones who are actually on site day to day are either incompetent or don't actually have any decision making authority & have to wait for word from Thailand. I suspect it's both. They've been virtually invisible. Thats a sign that they can't even speak publicly without the big man's permission. All compounded by the fact that in this case the big man is actually a talentless manchild given his role a decade early. Too ****ing busy being starstruck at being all chummy with footballers to make any meaningful decisions.
We're down. & KP will be ****ing off as soon as they can find a buyer. Which should take some time as we've been sidelined with that ****ing stupid white elephant project at Seagrave.
New stadium screwed us as a club 20 years ago. Now this will do the same.
Top tier training facility...& we're the most unfit team in the league. You couldn't ****ing make it up.
It's going to be 5 years in the championship lads.
