Football Department Review

[LP]

Don't wait. Send Cripps packing now.

Fresh start, new coach, new captains.

As much as I hate to admit it, it may well be the only way forward from this mess, and as I've posted before it is not without risk, but that doesn't mean it is not the right direction to go in.

I can't accept that the report of a dissatisfied playing list torpedoed the coach if that dissatisfied list is made up of spuds and list cloggers. If the also-rans were the problem you cut half the list before you'd cut Weiters, BigH, Walsh, Cripps, De Koning, etc., etc.. So it has to be the case that some significant talent torpedoed the coach, and that is therefore a massive problem if the playing list remains configured as it currently is. Fans do not appreciate what this means, they aren't thinking deeply enough about it, they look at players through rose coloured glasses.

I think I wrote this the other day, "There is a rotten Apple Jim!" it's a line I pinched from a movie, it has to be the case, and we need it removed before the whole lot goes off! Changing coaches won't make a shred of difference.
