Lack of class from the extreme wing of the Tony-out brigade. You can now actually give it a rest. Thank god. -

Should be one up. -
What you wrote was that whatever happens it will be better than having TM at the helm. I posed a couple of alternatives that are worse.

Silas, you said that whatever comes next, you'll never look back misty-eyed. I take this to mean that even if we get relegated or go into admin then, its a shrug of the shoulders and a sense of relief that TM isn't manager.

"No matter what comes next." Relegation? Administration?

Jebus. Tell us what you really think.

You had someone making decisions.

I can almost feel consensus breaking out. Proper discussion, no name calling and some facts about the (to me) hazy Bowyer era. Life is never as clearcut as we like to think and TM is not a saint, but nether is he the villain of the piece IMHO. He was trying to set out to fans and to anyone else willing to listen what the options are for the club in his comments yesterday. The truth is that it will need a fantastic leader, some investment and something like proper governance to turn the club around. And a large slice of luck. What a complete mess the club has been though, from the madhouse early days to the radio-silence times we now live in. The club has no board to speak of, no clear decision-making structures, little input from the fans (QEGS old boys excepted of course - still waiting) and the feel of a place trading on old glories. There are some positive things, the work to get young people from the town's low income areas is the most obvious, but there are many committed people in and around the club doing their best. So for me the target has to be the owners. Get in place proper accountability, transparency and a sense of respect for an institution that came into being at the dawn of football and was an expression of civic pride and ambition. Pride and ambition. We deserve nothing less and demand nothing less.
