Francis, I am struggling to work out what you are asking in the above post, although towards the end I clearly see you would love to see a more successful club.

Let me throw one question back at you: How the hell do you think a player of the calibre of Stephen Dobbie is paid?

Believe me I would love to see Queens performing better and challenging at the top end of the league. I'm still fully of the opinion that the team that has been assembled is not doing as well as it should, - and this is down to a number of things; attitude: - where some players think they are better than the opposition; and work rate: - simply taking the foot of the pedal too early and taking it far too easy.

Kosovo are a team that Queens should aspire to play like, - at half time they were 5-1 down but they never gave up and at 5-3 were really pushing England back. Despite the fact that England could and should have put the game to bed, - Kosovo were threatening to get that all important 4th goal - and if they had you would have seen some real panic in the English team.

So this thread is tied in with another in my opinion, - and I honestly feel Queens are under-performing, - so I think asking the Chairman to stand down is crazy, - as is suggesting that only extra money will solve the problem on the pitch.

We have tried throwing money into 'better' players in the past and it almost ended up in Queens being bankrupt. The present Board of Directors, whether you like or not, have bank rolled the club with their own money and the club is stable, - yet some people like you are demanding that they dig deeper and spend even more, - while at the same time bemoaning that the entry cost is too high!

Money doesn't grow on trees and until certain people realise that I can only see disaster ahead.
