Bedwetters, really, that’s the best you have, insult nearly everyone here because you somehow think they have it handled, based on… ?  The layers that have guided them, was it legal aid lawyers or first year law students? 

Not intended have removed  the comment and apologies,  was having a crappy day being sick lol

I’ve spent a lot of this week feeling so angry and down about what happened. With people in our club and in particular SR. 

For my own sanity I tried formulating my thoughts on the last few years and how its built up to this. Appreciate its a long read, but was cathartic for me to gather together frustrations.

This is brilliantly written, thank you. 

The point about the Premier League [through what route?] having warned Russell that his approach would have to change is shocking [insofar as the club was blandly willing to let him continue without either a back-up tactical plan  or 5 new high quality players].  The fact that the Board didn't think it necessary to replace Jason Wilcox speaks volumes.

I disagree that Tonda has to go, but the quality of decision making certainly has to improve dramatically, and those hiring need to get much better at Bullshit Bingo.
