We need to start again.

From top to bottom. New blood, people who give a **** and have a plan/strategy for helping the club to develop for the long term. The only way we can do it.

Something has to change.

 

Has someone hacked your account?

 

this is exactly what we will be doing,next season in league 1 or as I prefer to call it,the third fcukin division.the hillcroft experiment has done us good and proper.

 

I do slightly agree, getting to the point (like England cricket) that we chalk ****, get rid of the tripe, play the young uns and a few new signings, and prepare for next season. This shower isn't good enough.

 

Trouble is if we go down I fear we will be there for a very long time, attendances will nose dive and we'll have no money. Amazingly we still aren't cut adrift at the bottom of the league and I'd like to think we can scrape survival yet again. Then in the Summer, lose all the dross (assuming a lot of contracts are nearly up?) and build a team of players coming to the end of their careers mixed in with the likes of Digby, RNL, Jennings etc...

 

If we are there for a long time, so be it. Having a long term plan and building our club from the bottom up again will be worth it compared to the shower of ***** we've got knocking about at the minute.

Sick of the f.cking lot. On the pitch and off it.

 

Are you saying the project has failed?

 

Won't happen with this owner. No vision and no plan.

 

The project changed in the Summer. If it had continued, I'd be offering much more support.

 

I'll not watch that lot in lge 1, we will struggle there an'all! Booooo!

 

Didn't Keith n Flicker leave us with this though?!?

 

This^^
I fear if we go down will we go from being a championship club (which historically we are) to a club like Preston.

 

Before the arrival of Watkins and Mansford, I would have totally agreed. The club's been run like a corner shop for years. But I don't think Patrick could have persuaded Maurice to come and Captain a sinking ship...Its taken years to **** up, so its not going to be a quick fix... Hopefully in this league, if not, so be it, we've been down before....

 

We had a plan and strategy and then everyone got bored of it. Unfortunately long term planning isn't going to ever work because as soon as relegation looks like it could be a natural consequence we abandon it and revert to short termism

 

Ok maybe he should have said we need a good plan, not one that even the manager forgets how it is supposed to work ! Because that last one is still baffling me even now !

 

Doesn't seem too long ago that many on here were saying we had a mid-table team, possibly even play-offs, with the standard of players we have.

How things change.

 

Here's a plan:

We will only spend within our means, we will play attractive passing football, we will bring through young players, we will only use a limited number of season long loans, and if we get relegated - or even start to look like we might - we won't deviate from the plan because we have faith in the vision we have set out to bring long term success.

How many fans do you reckon would sign up to that, or stick by it?

 

Keith Hill lost his way. He kept banging on about no money. You'd have thought someone with a plan and presumably belief in that plan and his ability to deliver it would have just got on with it.

But no he just couldn't shut up and get on with it.
