Was reading this write up about Scunthorpe United's relegation out of football league:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61033835

You are frustrated pal. And perhaps angry and worried. I get that.
But your comparison is way off piste.

... and I could be reading into Rover's future! This paragraph got me the most:

"Whilst some fans are angered by the current state of the club and this situation, many almost seem numb to it now and were resigned to their fate a long time before the dreaded 'R' was placed next to their name on the league table."

When will this club wake up? We're sleep walking out of the whole football league like Scunny!

We have some people with very pessimistic views on here.

I’d argue that the relegation under Fergie was worse, from edge of play offs at Christmas to relegation with a whimper at the end of the season. That’s before the coming third in a one horse race the next season (in League 2).

I’m hoping we see the HoF bring in a new Manager and a new (and hungry) squad for next year.

The main aim for that following season was promotion and he delivered, surely the way you've put that season across makes you the pessimistic one?
