We have had five seasons now to establish ourselves and yet still we struggle, we should and are perfectly capable of being a good average PL team, however what we lack is leadership at the top, we currently have chairman who is out of his depth, the situation we are in is because we have failed to secure cover upfront when the chairman was already fully aware that Wickham was going to be out until early next year at best and yet he allowed us to go forward with only one striker, he strings everything out to the last possible moment can't make decisions and when he does he gets a high percentage of them wrong!

Hi Den, I could honestly care less about Parish admitting his mistakes. The issue is not Parish admitting or not admitting his mistakes, its Parish making those same mistakes, year after year after year. Regarding going on about it, that is everyone's prerogative you will find. Also - I want to see him gone, and the only way I can perhaps in some small way make that happen, is to keep going on about it.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

I think you've been following American sport a bit too much. Maybe you'd like to see us change our name and move state while we're at it?

Pretty much agree with all of this, but Andy Linaghan did a bloody good job for us, at the end of his career when he cam to us, but better than what we had at that time, IMHO.

Trying on the last day for players teams want to and need to replace is perhaps not enough. Or there's just taking the chance it'll be alright without anyone.

The inevitability argument I've been making I actually see genuinely happening next season with all those players out of contract. I certainly don't see it as inevitable this season or last season. But then again other teams forward plan and sell a big player with a change ready to adapt. We'd more likely just sign whoever is available in the papers after 3 games and work out a formula 12 games in after sacking another manager. The more inevitability of next season makes this season a bit easier to take. Like not really getting carried away v Chelsea when you know we're effectively boxing one handed southpaw as a right hander. Start looking for a championship manager who knows how to do things like Pulis and Allardyce do because we sure as hell can't. Oh and an acquiescent relationship isn't a successful one for long, unless Gary Neville takes over Parish's body.
