What are they thinking

[The Only Way Is Up]

We've had players come here off the back of good performances for their previous team(s).

We've had precious little out of them after signing them, on loan or on contracts.

They've moved on to other clubs, and have regained their lost form.

We have many players who are still with us, but who are underperforming.

They aren't all useless players.

I doubt that Mr Kellogg's and his merry men sanctioned the spending on their wages and then 'arranged' it that so they failed to live up to their potential.

Somewhere, there's a link between the above situations, and we need to find out what it is NOW!

Forget the idea that we need to spend big on new players. Instead we need to address the reason why there's a wet rot spreading through the way that we play.

Just how the hell can anyone claim that true fans of the club who put hours and hours of voluntary work into making us a better club could gain anything out of making players fail week after week? Why would they do that? What possible reason could there be for them choosing to loose week after week?

Look for the answers to the above, THEN remove the cause of our incipient decay.

Instead of expecting the club or the trust to host an expensive kangaroo court style of EGM which will never happen (and you know it!) disgruntled fans need to organise an independent meeting somewhere off the park if you honestly believe that it is the Trust Board or the Club Board's DIRECT fault that this decay is continuing. Look for the real reasons for the problems. Invite former players to give their side of the story. Based on the answers received, you then write motions to be put before an EGM and submit them to the club and the trust as required. Whatever those motions demand, you must be prepared to put your money where your mouth is in finding the solutions to the problem, whether it is a lack of proper coaching, which would need you to consider getting rid of AND replacing coaches with better ones and financing that move, or building better toilets (not that doing the latter would improve performances on the pitch!)

Create a plan... it seems that there are experts here who know all the problems and think they know the solutions. Do it - you will have plenty of support for your efforts. However, be prepared for the backlash from yet more disgruntled fans if your solutions don't work, placing you in exactly the same line of fire as you are now putting the present Boards.

So it's the fans fault? Was it the fans fault with Moss and Hamilton?

It's the boards both of thems fault we are where we are mistake after mistake and no apologies for basic simple mistakes.

Hughes a joke appointment followed by another who is putting the final nail in.

When Keates takes us down like Walsall I hope you are proud of your idols then.

Isn't this the kind of thing the club board should think about doing?

Can anyone name 3 players who've improved in the many years Carl Darlington has been coaching for us, by the way?
