Romared Match Thoughts Huddersfield Town v Barnsley

[SBRed48]

Managed decline !?!?!

5th in the Championship.
Then the Conway Season.
Then Wembley.
Then 6th under a terrible HC.

Is that managed decline ???

Got to admit we are off the rails right now and the current HC is struggling to get us up and running.
This could well be a hangover from underachieving last season.
We don’t know.

What we do know - is that player recruitment was relatively poor last season.
And this season it’s worse.

It’s nowhere near managed decline.
But there’s definitely a dip this season and last.

May 2021 5th in Championship--25th in league pyramid

May 2022 24th in Championship--44th in League pyramid

May 2023 4th in Third Division--48th in League pyramid

May 2024 6th in Third Division--50th in League pyramid.

Present position 11th in Third Division--54th in League pyramid

If it looks like decline, walks and swims like decline, and quacks like decline,--then it probably is decline.

You can see it however you like pal but it’s clear you stand alone in your opinion.

So the statements above are not decline then?

We have all known for a long time that it is OK in your world to call the facts sh1te if they get in the way of your opinion.

From having a stab at getting in the premier league to mid table third division in 3 years is definitely decline, the question is can this decline be halted ? well of course it can , however ask me do I think this decline will be halted ? and my answer would be no , not whilst the current owners are at the helm , it will gradually over a period of time get worse .

Shads - there’s obviously been a dip.
But for some to claim it’s a ‘managed decline’ is absolutely crackers.
