That's were we are now in my opinoin, crisis point, at atleast three levels, first the manager has proved without doubt now he is painfully out of his depth, tactically being constantly outsmarted, team selection bemusing at times, after match comments bizzare and a number of players, despite his recent denials suspiciously not on board or tuned in to his ways..A released player unable to get a sniff of our depleted squad, leaves, plays and scores the winner for a rival, okay that doesn't make Billy Daniels the next Llionel Messi but surely begs the question why hardly a sniff of a game here. Pressley looks to me as if when lying in bed he dreams up a system and team selection on a whim hoping it works and if it doesn't oh dear what do I do next ! and is now starting to jibber when interviewed, I think sooner or later will have a real paddy on the microphone.
Secondly the squad, in terms of numbers getting dangerously short any sort of injury crisis and we could well in the shite. We are only signing players already here, so no increase in personel we have senior players loaned out, then come back, play one week and score, dumped the next, the lack of man management so obvious.
Third , the ownership situation. Just who is pulling the strings on this one ? A year or so ago Joy Sepalla not only admitted in interview not having a clue about football but also didn't know Coventry City Football Club was part of her sisu portfolio so it seems obvious to me she relies on those charged with running the football club on her companies behalf, Tim Fisher and Steve Waggott who I suspect hand her financial figures to back up their policies.
So how can things improve ? well firstly this so called sisu out group need to gather momentum, come out of the shadows and explain who they are, who they might represent, if they represent anybody that is and any future plans they might have. People/fans will support but do need to know more. It seems only the few on here and GMK know of them. We needs to get to Sepalla and try and educate her football clubs can succeed if run correctly, Southampton being the most obvious example and yes I know they are carrying debt, most clubs do but have obviously been run differently to us. As many I am in the sisu out camp as I see no way forward presently, but it might be that just convincing Sepalla to replace Fisher and Waggott asap and bring in people with different and provern methods of running a football club, both were provern failures at Charlton Athletic, does she know this ?.
Back to the playing side. This current squad is good enough to win more games than it is and be atleast mid table and above, we aren't and relegation as we stand is very real, then what. I shiver when I look at the second division table and see Tranmere Rovers fighting it out in the bottom three, they were flying in this division not that long ago, that's where we are heading at the minute, a sobering thought !
