Quote: hokeydokey "We are in this mess not what Pearson has done but what we have had in the past,poor signings whether unlucky with injuries or not year after year have cost us and McRea was responsible for a lot of it. The expectations from the fans has heaped massive pressure on the players and media with this sleeping giant and once things go wrong panic sets in and it goes from bad to worse then to total embarrassment and thats not just this season.'"
Its all very well blaming McRae but while he certainly wasn't brilliant and made some questionable signings, the uncomfortable fact remains that the performance on the pitch showed some improvement when he arrived and has deteriorated since he's gone.
