To suggest a professional sporting club has a "culture of acceptable failure" is utter nonsense.
Because we are crap in various areas, does not mean we have such a culture. It's another one of your out and out statements that's eminated from your frontal lobes, which sits comfortably for you, yet none of us really knows what goes on or is going on behind the scenes.
For example I can't imagine for a moment that people like Tony Rea has a culture where is is happy that we're getting smashed or he'd be viewed as a failure, nor an owner that leaves at half time, not even a professional cricketer who has played for their country.
Being able to and having the ability to turn things around at our club is completely different from thinking we have a culture where failure is acceptable.
