Quote karetaker="karetaker"I made that decision last week. I remember the days long ago when we were poop then aswell,but this is different.'"
Indeed. Pre-2003, we were a poop team because we were a poop club and expected the occasional flirt with relegation. And a run like this would almost certainly result in a change of management.
However, there's so much sentimentality over Smith for what he achieved 2009-2013 (which he deserves lots of credit for), but it's now holding us back and there's a good chance we'll lose our status as the only team never to have left the top flight.
If we don't act now we'll regret it by the 80th minute of the MPG.
I'm thankful for all the wonderful memories, but it's time to let it go and try to rescue what's left of the season. At this stage I'll take 8th and an early exit out of the cup on the 17th if it's on offer.
