Yeah, I mean this season specifically. We've gone from lofty ambition to nervous glances at the table with the same group of players outside the odd change, so it can't be all working conditions and money.
One of the reasons I couldn't see a new stadium built is that it'd mean a new one was sat unused nearby. Having a second stadium seems less ridiculous as a concept now there's top flight sport at the Ricoh either way, but still, nah.
I'm all for the idea of Pressley being given adequate time and all, but the notion that he's doing as well as anyone else possibly could with the same players is ludicrous. We were on the cusp of the top six at one point with the same players who now are flirting with relegation. At some point...
The Gillingham game felt like a real homecoming, but since then I've felt a similar kind of thing. It's not just a sense of place but a real apathy too, that year away has done damage I fear is unrepairable.
Moving from Wycombe to here isn't the initial damage, but it's repeating it which isn't much better. They were there long enough to attract new local fans there as well as uprooting longer standing fans with a move even further from their original base.
I'm not calling for his head. I'm almost not throwing the toys out about people criticising the manager rather than blaming the owners for everything, which is what you've subtly masqueraded your question as.
The answer is that there would be plenty of applicants. The evidence is every managerial vacancy that ever happens.
Out of interest when people are calling for the owners to leave are you demanding a list of replacements as proof that they exist too or is it only what suits your agenda at any...
There's no job vacancy to queue for.
If we didn't have a manager, there would be a host of applicants as there is with any professional club at any time.
