This though is something different. We are going backwards because we are being mismanaged from the top. We haven't always been mismanaged but for the last 18 months we have been. I have my own theories as to why this and there are rumours leaking from the club that support this.

Why as fans do we have to put with this? Because the owner has done something good for the fans in the past, how long do we remain grateful? Do we remain grateful while the owner undoes all the good work and the club starts to go backwards?


Why should we not say anything? I like many others have given thousands to this club over the years. We want answers.
On the flip to that then, how many clubs of our stature are in this league or the league above?

The answer to me is two above and two at our level.

There are dozens and dozens below us.

Warne left. He took everything that he had built with him. He left because he was burnt out and nothing left he could do because short of billionaires investment we won't wedge ourselves in this league. That's the difference between Brentford, Bournemouth and us.


Stewart sets his budget. It's more than the club can afford on its own. That's a fact, not arguable.

Some managers have got more from the players that our budget gets than others. Taylor didn't. Between him and the approach those in charge took it went wrong. Worse than a " try hard" approach he had openly criticised when he arrived.

LR has come into a mess he cannot solve. There's not the resources there and we did not improve in January because it would have been stupid to do so.

Moral has sunk since.


If we "want better" how is this possible? Because there's only one other local business man interested who's worth more than Tony and he won't be buying the club.
