Reed will be non league in three years. System player who’s skills fit a very niche bracket which is rare at this level

We could have done with Reed on the pitch Saturday.
Would have slowed Mansfield attacking play down no end.

Agreed, but I think that the point that all is not well behind the scenes, and hasn't been for some time, is a valid one.
I think Gladwin was probably the glue that 'kept the show on the road' too.
Oh absolutely. Gladwin looked devastated in those Crawley announcement pics, reminds me of how unhappy Matt Ritchie looked when we sold him and he didnt want to go

Hopefully, Austin fills that gap now. He needs some input in the dressing room and beyond.

Interesting fact:
Since Steve McMahon we have only had two managers who have completed two full consecutive seasons: Andy King and Mark Cooper.
That's 25 years of unrest.
Can't help but feel that may be a factor in our chaotic shitness.

No doubt it is but I expect those stats are going to be similar for a lot of lower league clubs. In that spell: Todd, Evans, Wise, Sturrock, PDC, McDonald, Flictcroft, Wellens, Garner & Lindsey have all left of their own accord. Off the top of my head. Really can’t remember if Evans walked or was sacked.

Yeah I looked this up a while back, we get a lot of stick for not sticking by managers but far more have chosen to leave than been sacked in the last 20 years. .

If you actually look at the managers during that time and consider the circumstances of many of their departures I would say there was really only Sturrock, Wellens or Garner that could have built sustainable success. But all three jumped of their own accord.
Of the high profile appointments Di Canio would have bankrupted us and Wise jumped at the first opportunity.
Really only Cooper and Wilson had the opportunity to build long term, but both had the rug pulled from them in terms of transfer business after play off seasons.

Yeah, that’s what it was. You haven’t left my mind since your idiotic comment about Power. It’s all I think about.
Not that I just read your post and saw the hypocrisy, not at all. Definitely the first one.

Didn't you fully support the Di Canio period?
