I have a strange feeling that this season will end up as a repeat of the season that Gould first took charge if the club.
Cheap signings (including 1 prolific goalscorer) meant they were pre season relegation favourites. Somehow they were 4th at Christmas before the dramatic slide and relegation was avoided on the very final day.
The natural position for this squad has to be lower half and the spiteful docking of points may end up being a real problem as the season drags on.
Personally I found last night a depressing experience when listening to it on the radio.
Something is going to ultimately have to give. If a slump happens and the club looks like relegation candidates I have a view that fans have to look at attending games. The club will return to the city or die anyway so any ownership agenda has to be deemed an irrelevance in the end. Going further down has to be seen as a catastrophic outcome and players need atmosphere and support.
Eventually if the going gets tough I will have to go to some games. Fans have to look at a bigger picture. Liquidation would be death in all but name and there comes a point where people have to cast aside their long term view and address the short term.
