The board are content ! Clear out in the summer , reduce the wage bill get rid of high earners where possible. Recruit more loans and get in a young Manager who just wants to prove himself. So it’s Butlers job if he still fancies it !!
We need leadership at board level to sort this mess out.They appointed butler in the blind hope it would work. This despite the rot already set in long before Moore left, nothing whatsoever suggested butler, a complete rookie could turn it around, especially with him being apart of the problem before.He was the easy, and cheap option, no other reasonThe club needs fresh managerial blood to shake it up. This was blatantly obvious before hand.Charlton, Sunderland and pompey showed what should have been done. How many other clubs would have appointed their part time ladies coach, with ZERO football league managerial experience, to take over when 5th in the table?!??Absolutely f**king shambolic, and needs sorting NOW! The way the club as a whole has thrown this season away is unforgivable.Butler out now!Get an experienced manager in who know what he's doing, and who can start planning now for next season.I fear fans won't come back very quickly unless this is sorted ASAP, and I'll be thinking very hard about Wether to renew my season ticket unless more ambition, leadership and forward planning is shown by the club. SORT IT NOW!!!!!!
They're out in force tonight, now wasn't that expected!
Before the start of the season Gavin tried to sell us the idea that plenty of loan deals was the way to go , and that he had done his home work and that most clubs that get out of this division had 5 loanees. Well i've done my Home Work (3 mins) and as it stands right now the top 4 in L1 have a total of 10 loans between them , The top 2 only have 4 between them, with second place Peterborough only having 1 and he's from Huddersfield.So IMHO it looks like he's placed to much faith in the high quality loan market and it's back fired massively. Let's see if gets his fingers burnt again next season.I hope who ever is the new Manager makes a stand and limits the Loans to 3.

Only the oywstons greed destroyed it.
I rarely find a need to criticise the board, but why Butler to this day is still without an assistant/colleague, call it what you will, is very suprising. The methods they employ to find managers are sound enough, but the inflexibility when things change is clearly hurting us. I feel they aren't flexible enough to try on capitalise on good positions in January, if and when they come about. Was there ever any plan b?
I do hope everybody who is contributing to the general ethos that the board don't care, and that they'll be cutting back and appointing a cheap manager, or appointing AB etc etc will be back on this form apologising when the board prove you wrong.Your names are going on a list!

Blackpool did do that but the quality of there loans were far better than we have got, they also signed Charlie Adam that year, loans are a good thing used correctly
The board don't give a f**k
