by the way .. a solid article , but a bloody depressing one!
its around this time of year that im normally getting excited about the forthcoming season.. going to friendly matches .. buying the kids the new strip .. and generally getting excited about checking the transfer rumor sites & the telegraph for new signings coming in. Its been like that for the last 30 years for me.. and the last 10 for my kids too. Even during the relegation times, and the change of managers, or the change of owners...
despite any of the above, things alwasy seem full of hope at the start of that new season.. a new season to have another go at winning something... with the new shirt on your back ... new players on the pitch... and the sun shining as we walk back into the Ricoh ( or highfield road ) after too long away! this season we have none of that, and with SISU and ACL still at the helm.. i honestly cant see a resolution or a way back to those times anytime soon.. god i hope im very very wrong
