Hmm! so Shan's no longer the man eh? Well there's a surprise. He had a reaction, got his share of luck but, just like poor old Dave he'd been thrown in the deep end without his inflatable. Remember that old advert "Learn to swim young man, learn to swim. " If this farce pitches us against Villa in the play offs, and I know my luck suggests it will, and we lose to that lot, which knowing my luck AND history, we will. Then I fear we are in for similar times to the 90's before Megson kicked arse. What the actual f*** were the board playing at when they decided to sack BD? Did they even have a plan? I personally believed, wrongly it now seems, that they would pull out all the stops and at least get someone in that got teams promoted out of this division, even if they weren't premiership proven but no, whilst the media and bookies peddled the usual suspects out, odds on favourites and a few surprises. Poor old Shan scraped our arses over the line for a couple of matches against poor opposition and hey presto a scapegoat was born, a sacrificial lamb to the slaughter and with it a thin veil of hope resurfaced of auto promotion, only to sink faster than the titanic after a humiliation at Millwall. Quite fitting don't you think? Lions den, Sacrificial lamb! Thumb down on the whole sorry saga from me. I like others on here have had enough of this S**t shower. Im simply bored, resigned and moribund. I also said several years back that whilst Jeremy 'ebenezer' Peace wasn't the golden child. He  had at least kept the business in the black with a frugal, modest but sensible plan, and there is the key word, A PLAN! We don't even seem to have one of those anymore. We have a corporate chinese business man with no background, no passion or football pedigree. We are another business for him, nothing more nothing less. The lord is indeed our shepherd now and we're really going to need his help in the next 6 weeks. So sing loud and proud from those terraces before the lights go out. He lay me down to sleep. AMEN!
