Poisoned Chalice - bluepooch - 27-08-2018

Is the Chesterfield job a Poisoned Chalice ?
The last 5 managers have all come in with a fanfare and with decent and different backgrounds and credentials,all have all talked up their chances (obviously) and taken the the fans have gone along with the hype,but as of now none have been anywhere near successful ,despite all having competitive budgets (allegedly) for their relative leagues.
I am beginning to believe there is a curse on the job and only an exorcist can remove this curse,or perhaps someone with a bit of money a la Bournemouth.

We are poison behind the scenes. It can't help leaking out onto the field, even when we've got a good manager.
