...The saddest thing about our current demise is that some of our supporters still seem incapable of seeing it.*Many on here seem to be more angry at the manager than they are the owners! It's baffling.
This rot began when SISU decided they were going to stop building our squad and instead strip it of any potential it had. Simply because they had bigger priorities than CCFC.
This being about the time that they sold Scott Dann and Danny Fox.
With the likes of Keiren Westwood, Leon Best, Ben Turner, Aron Gunnarsson, Danny Fox, Scott Dann and Jack Cork we had the making of a decent squad in this league. Not to mention the mooted possible signings of Jordan Henderson and Andy Carroll.
Since then we have lost all of those players added nothing of note and have sunk lower and lower as a consequence. Marlon King's spell at the club served more as a reminder to us of the difference a bit of quality and experience can make to a team.*
The latter being particularly relevant now.
You simply cannot brush aside lack of experience and lack of depth in a squad as 'excuses' for poor results.
Whether people like it or not, these are REASONS for failure not excuses.
AT may be a novice at this stage but no manager could achieve any level of success with our current crop. It is simply too weak a squad.
This summer we were a club that had just finished near the bottom end of the table but instead of trying to stop the rot we lost our best players without replacing them. Is it any wonder the bookies had us down as favourites for the drop?
We all saw this coming, so why are we now blaming the manager?
Just last week we were highlighted on talksport as an example of a terribly run club.
It seems that every f*cker in the country can see why we're struggling apart from our own fans!
Watching us lose to Peterborough yesterday while hearing that Scott Dann, Aron Gunnarsson and Ben Turner were on the score sheet elsewhere was very very depressing...
