Then, to be blunt, what's the point?
I can't see what is achieved by jettisoning what we have on the off-chance that the next guy will be better (and, by way of example from the club's recent past, I give you Ken Wright, Tony Greenwood and Leighton James
).
If we can't get someone who is better than what we have (and, to be honest, there isn't really anyone of a high calibre available at the moment unless we look at people who've managed far higher up, who will probably be setting their sites higher than a poorly-attended league 2 club), then I for one would resist rocking the boat at this stage.
Perhaps I'm blinkered as I wasn't at Saturday's game, but did anyone realistically expect anything other than defeat? Granted, the manner of the defeat may have been unacceptable, but fifteenth place with two thirds of the season or so left is by no means a disaster.
JEFF - I don't know what our playing budget is any more than you do, however, as far as I am aware, we have yet to pay a fee for a player (with the exception of Roberts) since promotion, and given that gates are low and the board (rightly in my opinion) do not wish to saddle the club with debt, I would assume it is reasonable to assume that the budget is amongst the lowest in the league.
I realise that as an exile and one who rarely attends, many of you may feel my views are less valid than those who have had to sit through the last few non-performances, but I really cannot see the point in pressing the panic button now. In all honesty, if we were going to pay a club employee off at this stage, I suspect Oggy could suggest a more urgent candidate?
