Then we're f**ked. Honestly, we are f**ked.
This won't be popular but I blame the fact that the coach is not up to the job, and soon I will blame the CEO if he doesn't clear this shit up, get us a coach who can actually coach at this level and give us long-suffering f**king fans something to be happy about. We are at the end of our tether with this shit.
At the end of the day (again, this won't be popular) I feel this is all a bit of a cry for help, or a show of 'we can't win under this mug'. Yes, our guys are completely unprofessional. But to me, they see a completely inept coach who is unable to get them where they want to go. They could bust their arses but they see their coach doesn't know how to coach them to beat good sides. They might scrape the 8 but nothing more. I truly believe the likes of Matulino, Thompson, Manu want to work hard - and have in the past. But they know a shit coach when they see one. It is absolute human nature in these conditions to slack off a bit, cause a bit of trouble like this and sub-consciously (or consciously) hope it leads to the coach going.
Which it should.
If this leads to the coach being a protected species and getting a player clearout over a him clear out, yeah I'll go find other things to do on a weekend.
Jim Doyle, get rid of our coach, tell the players they are on their last notice or they'll be shipped off somewhere else, and give us our f**king club back. We're sick of it.
