I think this is what is so irksome with the whole situation, we had a golden opportunity to cement ourselves as a massive force in the Premiere league and potentially Europe. There was something magical about us rising from the ashes after relegation to league one, then the foundations laid by NP, his team and the club, to staying with Cambiasso and then eventually winning the league.

It can be achieved again and I agree with many on here it requires a huge painful and honest RCA to take place. There is nothing more uncomfortable than turning a mirror upon yourself and your organisation to learn and progress. I took immense pride as a fan at how we rose to the top with sports science and fantastic recruitment.

To reach the top of the Premiere League you have two choices:

1. Spend your way there

2. Targeted development and taking risks on unknown players. Most managers are not afforded this opportunity.

I think most fans were genuinely happy for us when we won the league, we took the 2nd option and demonstrated what can be achieved, we now look at Brighton as the trend setter, that was us not so long ago. The frustrating part is that we can return to those days it just takes the will and the desire and above all, taking the risk!

My opinion of course
 
Ah, the problem of the interweb and disinformation etc....

Such fan perspectives (and it is only that) can have a misunderstanding of what's at play and be factually inaccurate yet none-the-less portray a semblance of authority. A web page doesn't make it true.

As much as I like to consider BR as a sociopath (and not a psychopath btw) I am in no way qualified to offer that as a judgement. Equally, I haven't a clue what Rudkin's nor Whelan's job actually entails, their remits nor areas of expertise. Whelan, for instance, might be playing a blinder for all I know. I can judge only on results (and, true, that hardly goes well for them) So whilst I won't go personal, I can hold the board collectively at fault. And repeatedly so. Hence, I would like to see a major clearout and reset, if only to have some freshness and avoid locked in thinking.
