For that alone we should be indebted.That gives him some rights to conduct the business as he sees fit. I still can't imagine his 'month' conversation with Edmo wasn't in private and was leaked by someone with a hidden agenda. I doubt even in America that this sort of thing is conducted through the media.The bit that worries me is the 'we are not in danger of relegation' (even echoed by some on here). Football history is littered with teams who have gone into freefall having hit a bad patch which they couldn't recover from.Perhaps that is what is at the back of Casson's mind.
Good points. I think we most certainly ARE in danger of relegation. Unless changes take place within the club we will be in the bottom four by February if not sooner, because we are on a slide at the moment. Morale is low, we aren't scoring goals but conceding them for fun, team spirit and now even discipline are evaporating fast. This is the prefect storm for a relegation scrap. We need a change now, to get some belief, discipline and spirit back before it's too late. We need a manager/coach who can get the players doing the simple things right, from day one, someone who can get them to wise up, and stop always being the fall-guy for ordinary, but well-organised opposition. What worries me is that Edmo has assembled a squad with one or two decent players, but too many misfits. We have potential match-winners who are either injury prone or wildly inconsistent. I see not enough characters, not enough leaders who you'd want in your team to dig you out of a hole. I see players struggling for fitness, brought in on a hunch, and players who don't seem sure of what their role is supposed to be. It's a big ask for a new manager because he'll have to work with what he's given to an extent.
