So is it now time?
Even forgetting what has gone on in the previous few seasons, this season has been a complete **** up from day one.
The manager leaves, and we decide to go a completely different direction. Some agreed with it, some didn’t. Obviously every one knows I was happy with the change of direction because I thought we’d end up doing a Southampton. Whether or not people agreed with it, the decision was made and then we had to back him.
But no, he gets booted after 12 matches, despite being ahead of the two other promoted teams, even though they both had a higher net spend and didn’t have the same managerial disruption in the summer.
Fine, decision made, let’s bring in a decent experienced manager. But no, we bring in someone who is inexperienced and achieved nothing so far in his managerial career. And yet again, a completely different style to the previous manager.
I was confident we’d stay up last month. Now I’m convinced we’re doomed.
Let’s talk about recruitment. This summers recruitment was bad. Ultimately we don’t know how much say Cooper had this summer, but if we did gave a brand new manager complete free rein to bring in who he wanted, that’s dumb and on Top and Rudkin’s head. I suspect it was a combination of all of them. But ultimately it’s years and years of incompetent recruitment that is the reason why our squad is so shit right now.
We need to seriously protest to get Rudkin out, and if that doesn’t work, it needs to be directed to Top.
