It's quite simply not Paul Hart's fault. What were people expecting - that he would come in and we would suddenly be amazing? We've been shit all season and it happens sometimes especially when you sell your best players, as selling clubs do. Fact is we got good money for Greer and Austin which'll help us for the future. If I had to blame someone I'd blame Fitton but only for not acting soon enough; the man is keeping us viable with his policies and if we exist but are in League 2, I'll take that rather than not existing at all like Plymouth.
Yay. Celebrating financial security. Might as well go buy a season ticket to sit in fucking Sainsbury's all year. |

haha. My internet was just battling through my mountain of ongoing torrents to find that too.
but yeah. I think the agent fee thing is a bit of a red herring.

To point the finger at one individual is ridiculous.

As you sit in the pub whether we're doing well or badly, a season ticket for Arkells (not the Arkells) might be more appropriate |

Everyone involved at the club this season ought to take some responsibility for the blame, singling out a particular individual is unfair. I don't think anyone can be held entirely responsible although I agree that Fitton has made some huge mistakes - not replacing Paynter or Greer, showing too much loyalty towards Wilson, his x year plans and some odd decisions like playing in white at Wembley - but doesn't he deserve the chance to show that he's learnt from his mistakes? We've done well since the board came in, escaping relegation, a great season culminating in a visit to Wembley and a great deal of stability at the club.
Hart is to blame for his negative approach and naive team selections which has not improved the side at all; regardless of his belief. The interview on Saturday evening was absurd, his non-responses, his belief that he'd taken the team forward and his overall attitude was one of a child sulking after being told he can't have a PS3.
Cut our losses, ditch the manager and coaching team, cast adrift the dead wood in the squad and rebuild starting tomorrow. If we don't have a good season next year, the rot will have well and truly set in.
I'd agree with all that. Well put sonic. Not sure about *everyone* at the club taking some of the blame though - seems a bit harsh on the lads and lasses in the club shop and the ticket office (and the bars, come to that)  |

So, should people like Ben and myself not contribute then?

I don't think you can call what I do "contributing" really.

It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. Apologies if anyone took it seriously. I'll insert tongues in appropriate cheeks by way of apology to all who were in any way offended |

SY....
I'm a business manager and have managers and staff to run my business.
Yes, I monitor and hopefully motive them when the going is hard..especially this year after the Christchurch earth quake.
But I let them manage and take responsibilties.
Very true but he is the chairman and it is within his scope to make these changes as he sees fit. Criticising him for that seems unfair given that it's his job. I have no evidence to support this belief but I genuinely think Fitton will learn from the mistakes he's made this season and take advice from the people around him to prevent it from happening again. The man isn't rich enough to put money into this club, play around with it as he sees fit and then walk away from it when he's bored. He's not Abramovich. |

I can only imagine that rimming them would make matters worse. |

This forum would be pretty quiet if only regular attendees contributed to the forum. |
