Bottom of the league

"Fans owned" but never felt so helpless supporting the club.

I just cant see what we can realistically do to turn round our on field performance.

Yes the board need to go, yes we probably need a DOF, a new manager, sadly probably yes despite me initially believing in keates but as I said on the live thread, if most of these players are going to play for anyone it would be Keates as he signed most of them and a couple publically backed him for the job. Having a 3rd manager in 3 months is a recipe for disaster in terms of another set of ideas and tactics and short term loan players.

I dont have an answer, leaving it as it is may backfire the way things are going but any other short term changes are risky.

In the summer whatever happens we need a complete bonfire and overhaul of everyone in the club from top to bottom.

I can’t get my head around the fact Darlington has the front to still be here.

Can you imagine Keates, Darlo, Davies and most of the players actually drawing their salaries without a conscience. I’d be so f*king embarrassed.
It means nothing to them. Criminal.

Easy money, trick the board into thinking you're a cut above the players. Hence why, apparently, they play sh*t, the board genuinely believe this.

We all know it's sh*t.

He's probably only here for the tickets to the Wales games for board members.

I’ve said since January that Spencer had an ego bigger than the tunnel mural and he should leave. I hope those that laughed and chastised me now finally agree the man is an egotistical maniac. He single handily has taken this club to subterranean depths. The lowest we have been in my lifetime and perhaps EVER My massive gripe with him is absolutely not personal it’s professional, and he is failing on a daily basis.

Your last sentence is correct. In the meantime, we must do all within our powers to avoid relegation. We need at least one good midfielder, and one goalscorer now. The only way we will get the quality required is through the loan market.

Keates is a one-dimensional failure. He should never have been reappointed. However, we either stick with him and hope, or come up with an alternative plan. The last few results indicate Keates cannot see our failings and has done very little to correct them. Omari Patrick and Kennedy have been positive signings, but what does Reid bring to the party?
