I think that the club needs a period of managerial stability, I've got my doubts about Sturrock, but my fears about having another person coming in and changing everything around would be worse.
Our best seasons so far this millennium have come from the only period of consistent management, and that was with King (although I do think everyone's a bit harsh on the bloke.)
I know that Sturrock will want to change things about this summer anyway, but at least he's had 2/3rds of a season judging the players we've got and that's got to be better than a random newcomer.
The current crisis with the club isn't with the footballing management.
I agree with the comment from someone earlier about Sturrock making a serious mistake by aligning himself with the board. He does have the credentials to be successful for us but he needs to focus on the job in hand and quit with the amateurish mistakes on and off the field before it is too late.
It's so fucking obvious that he had his head turned by the 'feel the love for Luggy' bollocks thrown at him by our shit scared board who were desperate for him to side with them, so much so that he was even giving it large on the radio before the snow-cancelled forum about how he would have to step in to the politics and implying that he would crack some heads together. I don't blame him for adopting that line as he'd been 'got at' by the board and stupidly allowed his judgement to be swayed.
I'll forgive him for that. He's human, they pay his wages, shit happens. I hope he doesn't make the same mistake again.
Not signing players while letting others go was a big fucking error though. I am surprised that he let so many players go or froze them out without signing better replacements. He definately fucked up by saying that the players win bonus scheme would be reduced next season - how the fuck was saying that in public EVER going to do anything other than demotivate the players, Paul?
Delta message to Sturrock:
1: Do the job you are paid to do Paul. Presumably the club pay tradesmen to do things like putting paint on the walls at the ground. I dont want you wasting your valuable time with shit like that. Go out and find some capable loan players that can do a job for us (your mate Andy King might be able to help out in that department). Iffy Onoura didn't have many obvious football contacts to tap up for players. Please don't give the impression that you are in that oh so sad postion as well.
2: Ignore off-field politics. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen with or without your involvement in the propoganda war. I want you to be our manager whoever runs the club. You have the support of the majority of town fans at the moment. Sure, there are questions being asked for obvious reasons but 3 points on saturday and a convincing and passionate performance will restore a lot of faith in you and the players.
I think most town fans are just looking for some leadership in all this, Paul. Please start leading us.
