"the board, who have done most things right"

*shakes head in disbelief*

1. Risk Averse: Fail to back Worthington in Premiership season in August RE Ashton
2. No (serious) money made available for purchases after relegation - sell Green, Mckenzie, Ashton, Jonson: combined income: £10 million +
3. We sign Lee Croft for £600,000 and Earnshaw for £2.5 Million... Where the hell has the money gone?!
4. Worthington cannot motivate players... Seems to have lost the edge which rewarded him with success. Board won't sack him, keep giving him reprives. Hang on too long.
5. Peter Grant hired as replacement - zero management experience. Indifferent end to season.
6. Earnshaw goes for £3.5 million, Etuhu for £1.5 million. Where the hell has the money gone?!
7. Peter Grant buys appallingly, falls out with too many senior players (Safri, Hucks etc), gets sacked too late.
8. We spend 3 weeks hiring a new manager. In the meantime, Jim Duffy hires an over weight John Hartson and loses 3 games on the spin. Roeder takes over, takes one point from 3 games, so 1 point out of possible 18 since Grant went. Appalling. If I owned the club I would be going mental. But then I support the club.

How many excuses will you accept?

        Yes its sad, but its reality... (NCFC) - Alan, Nov 18, 21:41:51
        
        well anybody's better than Shackell. I'm looking forward to when the Doc comes back. (n/m) (NCFC) - mickfoot, Nov 18, 21:43:22
        
        Me too. The Doc is far too much maligned (NCFC) - Poirot, Nov 18, 21:52:47
        
        I argued this point earlier in the season... (NCFC) - Alan, Nov 18, 21:57:55

        Peter Thorne couldn't perform at 32 (NCFC) - Poirot, Nov 18, 21:35:47
        
        But we are not talking about peter thorne... (NCFC) - Alan, Nov 18, 21:39:52
        
        I agree with you on this point (finally we agree on something!) (NCFC) - Poirot, Nov 18, 21:44:25
        
        Our midfield has potential to be decent in my opinion... (NCFC) - Alan, Nov 18, 21:52:17
        
        Brellier has been ineffective too frequently (NCFC) - Poirot, Nov 18, 21:57:54
        
        Agree on russell.. (NCFC) - Alan, Nov 18, 22:07:51
        
        Brellier seems to play just like Safri rather than Holt (NCFC) - phrankin, Nov 19, 10:34:03
