We have a long established hire-em-fire-em policy and in that respect the club is flawed.

As you say what's done is done and we have to make a fresh start.
So going by your words you’ll drop the continuous references to IW…..

Hopefully.

Although unlikely.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

I have never said anything derogatory about IW ever. I wouldn’t know if he’s done a good job or a bad job. I just don’t mix in those inner circles at the club.
We will foller the soccer, over land and sea...

He's been good and bad.
Good in 2022-23 & 2023-24
Bad in 2024-25 & 2025-26

No need to be so defensive, WG, I think Spirit is talking to bluessupporter.
Don't let the old man in.

Sorry, it is my opinion that Wood has contributed to our departure from the EFL. As you say I will not alter my opinion. This is a forum for opinions. You have yours, which is obviously not the same as mine.

In my opinion the sacking of Wood who was a member of the Board and CEO/DOF (I think) so soon after relegation speaks volumes.

But you said “what’s done is done and it’s time to move on”

But you aren’t prepared to move on?

Got it.

Will it?
Yes. It will. As ever people are talking about it like we can attract people with a track record, we only would if they were desperate for a role.

There could have been one too many snifters imbibed at the 19th hole, methinks.

It was you who brought it up again - not me.

As I said whatever I think what's done is done and we move on.

What part of that don't you understand?
