The Press Conference

The trouble is Wilde's side got to the play-offs-despite having an absolutely useless **** of a manager. Then the next season we were absolutely f*cking terrible despite yet more serious spending. Really on the face of it only Burley and the overpaid,underperformers are to blame.I mean I know you all like to rant on about this chairman and that director but at the end of the day if the players are inconsistent and the manager doesn't give a f*ck how is that the board's fault.you buy players, they do a reasonable job, you fall at the Canal Turn second time round, so you put the same horse with the same jockey next year and it falls at the first sodding fence.No chairman or director can plan for that sort of sh*t.You have to give players of "renown" decent contracts, if they don't deliver you're fugged,twice over even..

 

This too is true. Any other managed with even a slight percentage more competence would have got us promoted with the squad at his disposal that season.

 

Still, for me the large proportion of blame will always fall at Lowe's door.
