The ownership model - fans on the board - directly led to a sentimental, heart ruling head, decision to appoint Hughes. Would we have appointed a manager with a CV like that if he was not an ex player?
We didn't come that close in the end as we failed at the first hurdle of the playoffs, more importantly that was a one off and the first time we made the playoffs since 2013, so clearly we cannot compete. The fact that we have had one striker since Danny Wright left (in 2013 too, there is a pattern here) proves we cannot afford the players needed to fire us to promotion.
