Im an optimist. I hate failing to reach realistic targets (playoffs), which could have been achieved with what Coley left behind. Suppose im in denial of the taking 3 steps back approach particularly when taking that one step forward was within our grasps.
Im not for one minute questioning Cooks calibre or his work in developing the club on and off. The ship certainly needs steadying before we set sail on a voyage of success. Cook has it right: infrastructure, finances (players + staff), the community, they all need to be developed equally.
In shakermaker cliche mode:
No victory without fight, No rainbow without the rain, no love without hate.
No Stanley without Belief.
This thread seems to have derived a discussion with intellect for once on this forum. Good Stuff
