Does that include 25% or more of the fans not turning up for games including season ticket holders - think about it - I dont think so.
Why do I need to think about it? I'm not Fitton. |

Now I'm not privy to the bank accounts of our Board, and they may be willing to dip into their own pockets and fund half a mills worth of change, but nothing they've said or done yet indicates this course of action.
It's true sadly but sort of understandably too. However there are a couple of rays of hope. Fitton has said his aim is to get championship football. Now I don't subscribe to the "within 3 years" sound bite crap, but I do suppose he realises this will require some form of investment at some point. Maybe that time is now. Or maybe he is waiting for the stadium venture (which must be dubious under todays financial meltdown) or to finalise getting the club on an even keele. |

At the time AF said he'd been impressed by their work...clearly AF had a certain budget for manager, which was shown by the quality of applicant interviewed....that budget will be taken up by paying off MM.
Now I'm not privy to the bank accounts of our Board, and they may be willing to dip into their own pockets and fund half a mills worth of change, but nothing they've said or done yet indicates this course of action.
It's all a question of desire by the board to make changes.Fitton so far has given no indication of this.For instance he could have made changes to the coaching staff or appointed an experienced number 2 for Malpas.With no changes so far, that would suggest that he doesn't see this as a problem area. The Byrne/Williams option looks increasingly likely from Fitton,should MM depart.Malpas in his post match interview made no mention of loan signings as a way to change things around.In fairness he wasn't asked,but he chose to make no mention of this,as a means to try and arrest our current decline. |

1) Fitton has said he did not believe that a manager necessarily needed to bring in his own backroom team, and to do so would have been unfair on Byrne and Williams after they had carried us through the takeover period (as they would be out of a job).
2) Malpas had said he would look at the loon market in the near future if things didn't turn around. I think it was in the WDP or similar.
3) I'm not sure why I am numbering these point, and what point they make.

The defence is the issue. Apart from a left back, why do we need loans? Malpas has bought in 2 defenders and is bringing through Morrison (I'm for that, not moaning). He can't decide who his best personnel at the back are. Bringing in loans basically shows his failure to get the right players in the first place.
Yes some loan additions in other areas would be useful and I'd be for that. But the defence should be our priority right now. It needs sorting.

We've lost twice at Rovers in the league in the last 40 years. Maybe you hope we'll lose this one. |
