I have to agree. Ask yourselves where would the club be without Osborne. The council scuppered any plans for a new stadium and his 5 year plan when refusing planning permission. He’s losing nearly £1m a year supporting a failing club who aren’t even playing entertaining football and are now almost certainly being relegated. If he pulls out who the hell do you think will swoop in and cover his loses and then invest the money we’d all like?
The clubs history IS important but would a new state of the art stadium with clean toilets and decent food have been so bad? If it had worked we would even have had more income to maybe spend on the squad.
GJ has had a good career and is respected as a manager, we can’t deny the past but he’s human, he’s out of date with the modern game and he has made dreadful decisions over the past two seasons that have cost us. His players and his tactics have been wrong from the start but it’s even the basics. How can we still be so bad at taking and defending set pieces? Why can we not drop the ball in a dangerous area from a corner rather than have it blocked by the first defender, what the hell do they do all week on the training ground?
Stay up or go down we need fresh blood in the club, as much in management as on the pitch, GJ should leave gracefully, it’s not been all bad but we need him to go so the rebuilding process can begin.
