No, but salvageable with even a smidgeon of business acumen.

You foresaw this demise then?

No, you listen. What fucking good does it do bleating about the Richardsons & Robinsons of this world when their poisonous influence has long since departed this football club? We were a club with reasonable aspirations of a top flight return when Joy & co took the helm, and now what? Malign...
