Inevitable in the end I'm afraid. As nice a chap as Russ appeared to be he was quickly taking us back to the basement division.

Yes, he had an unbelievable bad run with injuries but the fact that he allowed us to get this far into the season with such an unbalanced squad coupled with such a poor standard of entertainment was his undoing. On top of that many of his acquisitions proved not up to the task giving doubts on his ability to spot talent. I can understand Swann not wanting to risk any more money on his choices as we are still three or four players short of a team for this league. Another big January transfer window coming up.

Schofield gone as well so a clean sweep, a fresh start and at least a small chance that the right man can get us out of the mess that's left behind.
