Pooch, Carter and Savile taught you to play the game. In this situation do you think they'd have been slumping to supine 1-0 defeats? They might have got banned, but no one could have said they hadn't turned up!
What I should also have said at some point was to admit that I was quite happy with our appointment of Jack Lester at the time. I thought he had as good a chance as anyone of turning our fortunes round. I did however think that was a dog's chance! But his entire approach has disappointed me. If I could see promise for next season in what he is doing then I'd still on his side .......... but his judgement has been poor and short-term. Even his media friendliness has begun to betray him as silly alan-partridge-esque statements have appeared. I can't see any sign that Jack would either recruit, or develop us a team of Vanarama promotion candidates next season.
