Yes. I suggest that the devotion of the players mentioned is not to the club but to the manager. Sad but true.

But I cannot accept the argument that there are no perfectly competent potential successors out there.

I can't help but restate my original point. There isn't one person out there who is a realistic target that would do the job better than our existing management. Players retiring wanting to move into management? Non league managers wanting a break in the league? Sounds like scraping the barrel to me!
Let's gain a little perspective here. Coley has not failed at all. On paper we have improved gradually. If in a good five years from now we are in the same position with the manager parading the same faults - then we should start looking for a replacement. Right now there is frankly no cause. The manager needs time to learn and improve, we owe him that at least.
