The club
Me neither.
I actually think that this could be resolved a lot quicker - it might come at a short term cost but we would have a club and fan-base that would be aligned. I would ask Brands to socialize to the board and fan-base his 5 year plan inclusive of club performance targets based on what we can attract and spend.
So for example, If Brands came out and told everyone we have budget and target that supports a 8-15th placed finish, every season, for the next 3 years then we all know were we stand and likewise management, players and fans can stick with it or consider there options. It could mean better players move on and attendances drop but the club would get back control of the long term future of the club.The reality is that the fans are not being told anything about our capability and club performance targets, the club hire dodgy mangers and the fans run them out - that,s not good for anyone.
So for me this all goes back to the board - continue on a path of instability and leaking money or come clean with the fans and get buy in and control.
I'm absolutely shocked but thats a good post.
