I agree with so much of what has been said.. but not that LR was the 'cheap option'. He was the ONLY option - after everybody else laughed at us and walked away.
I think that absolutely underlines the 'insider' attitude to us as a club.
I note how well we seem to do in early autumn / late spring each year and how it all falls away, particularly with injuries, in between. I'm sure our lousy training facilities are behind this, and as many have said, this stuff is basics before you can have any sensible 'ambition'.
But while I feel sorry for L R I feel the only reason he got the job was he was desperate and we were desperate...
And I really don't think he should stay beyond this crass season.
We should prepare for a long spell in lower leagues while we sort out our crap infrastructure and become genuine talent finding / selling club as we were in the days of Albert Bennett, Dave Watson etc.
To me that's our only viable future.
