The questions is though...
Do we change nothing and just hope we work our way through it?
It's probably reaching the point where that's not an option.
And there might be a few scalps on the lance.
What's happening right at the moment isn't helping advance the club, it's actually damaging.
Folks aren't being swayed by the talk, they're being influenced by what they see before them on the ground and in results.
People are starting to turn away, passionate supporters who have lost faith in the direction are stating that they're not watching or not attending games.
We're losing generations.
If you're a 10 or 11 year old you wouldn't remember the last time we were any good.
If you're 25 or under you probably wouldn't remember the last time we were great.
That's not just the fault of the current administration but unless they turn it around they will just be another chapter in the sad saga...potentially the saddest because they've made the greatest investment.
While there's life there's hope but there are many things that need action now.
Yes, I have been rock solid, and also boring and repetitious :
- conduct a full audit /review just like the Pies and Tigers
- understand the process in a holistic and contextual manner
- don't repeat the mistakes of the past
My guess is that such an audit review will make similar recommendations to the other clubs. Change up the Assistant coaches, maybe also Bolton needs to fine tune some of his methods, and stick with the plan.
Those of you who are interested, do a google search for "Hardwick sacked" and do another search for "Buckley sacked". Fun times.
And just a little teaser for you :
