To be fair to him mate he has inherited a team who were numbed into playing defensive football........
Lumbered with ageing players, lumbered with a team that has no pace, and lumbered with a team of Championship players,
Nyom, Livermore, Mclean HRK just to name a few,
All one man's fault this, add into the boards failure to address the age problem from Years ago Pep would have failed to keep this lot up
Too simple an explanation for what's a much more complex situation that one man's fault.
If I had to sum it up in a sentence, I'd say our current predicament is down to A) not attracting a world class manager because B) we were/are guilty of penny pinching and short term-ism in regards to the squad because of C) Peace ran us as a money making business first and foremost to make us appear more appealing to someone looking to buy the club from him.
If we do stay up by some miracle, be prepared to see the same mindset and approach again from the new owners too. The FC is nothing but a vehicle for raking in the TV money to them.
