Quote: ridlerbull "Bemoaning this over a period where the club was clearly in disarray and weren't likely to make any sensible long term investments...
So what you're saying is that last years side were acceptable, in spite of the fact that the side contained the players that you've listed here, but this year they are 'a complete embarassment'. But this is down to them as individuals, as opposed to anything external to them. But it's also the coach's fault. But the conditioning isn't an excuse because you were moaning about a few years ago. So sack everyone.'"
Now you are just making things up. The point I was making, as you well know is that using the Sky money as an excuse could perhaps be taken more seriously if we had a massively changed side because of the lack of funding. We don't, it is much the same side. The team showed last season, in adversity, that it was a competitive side yet now we are a very poor side indeed.
Is it down to coaching? Perhaps.
More worryingly for me is what is going on behind the scenes. There is clearly something unsettling at our club at the moment as the same players that did so well last season are now a shadow of their previous selves.
There appears to be no pride in wearing the shirt.
