See Elite, I don't think like that. We're a Non League club now because we weren't good enough to stay in the FL, so we are on a par with those lower level clubs based on capability. Just because we've got a big ground, a good budget (presumably?), excellent facilities and flash changing rooms, that doesn't automatically translate into rapid success. We've been badly run for many years, suffered chronic instability, had more managerial changes than any other club. We are paying the price for all of that.

It hurts all of us to be where we are, but I think some supporters have expectations of success that are sadly unrealistic. Change things at the end of the season, but doing it just before a cup semi final and whilst we were 5th having lost twice this year, it's something I just can't get my head round. Neithet can the players it appears. They are completely at sea after Ardley's sacking.
