But it sounds like he’s lost the dressing room. The players seem not to respect him (and that is the players fault as well). It’s a difficult one because a long term stay in this division will provide stability but the club as we know it will be a shadow of its former self. I really struggle to stay engaged in the quality of football, officials, pitches, grounds etc I go to every home game even though I have to travel, and watch on NLTV and I can’t believe what I watch half the time. It’s not entertainment, and if this is what sustainability looks like then who is going to be in it for the long term? Maybe 1,000-1,500 hardcore of fans
We’re still second in the league and have won more points than the last 2 seasons combined, we’ve scored 6 in a couple of games too. It’s not all been bad.
I agree it’s been garbage recently but let’s not forgot what’s gone before.
There’s no reason why stability = bad football, it just means we have to be more careful with our money and get better bang for our buck. More Wharton years, less like the Swann years.
We spent huge amounts under Swann but did we ever really overachieve? Did we have many players who exceeded themselves in an Iron shirt? I’d argue no.
