We have been in decline for a long while but SR have certainly put the final nail in the coffin with their dire and unbelievable decision making.
It seems that their primary objective was to rely on our past and long since gone exploits of breeding young talent and selling for vast profits, when what they should be doing is clearing out the dross and rebuilding a side capable of holding its own in the premiership.
The managerial situation has been an utter shambles and some of the player purchases have been as bad. We needed owners like this like a hole in the head.
