Have to say I do not share the same confidence of other posters on here. I do sincerely hope that they are correct and I am wrong.

This season I have attended a number of our under23 games and in most cases they have been absolutely woeful in every football basics. Each game on average is attended by at least 10 coaches/backroom staff and TBH not one of them appeared to show any interest or concern about the dreadful standards. In the game against Charlton I was so angry with their bahaviour and attitude. Will save that for another post. I believe that a massive clear out of our backroom staff is essential if we are to get out of this negative rut

To select Finney for any game gives me no confidence. To include Ainley, Finney, and Lowery in our midfield who are all completely lacking in the the physical strength to compete in League1 or 2 gives me no confidence.

By the sound of the RS commentary we weakly conceded the game
My feelings too my friend.

Its why we can ditch most of the academy staff and revert back to a basic academy like most other clubs lower league and national. The whole point was to see late ****agers and over play this game and select them on merit and not have to wait ten years to ditch most of them which is a bit rediculous. I agree more with you financial estimate and why appoint the managers so early? Why not give them ten games which could be renewed but all clubs in the PL fall for the same con by giving three year contracts which rarely lasts which cost them all millions in compensation. I mean what do we need with an assistant manager for or a player development manager etc? Surely the manager cannot be that busy he can't see his own players in training?
