    Yeah, thats kind of my point though, and what i said further up? The fan pressure led to him selling, at a price he was happy to sell at. None of us expect Solak just to accept the first offer, but it can start a chain of events just like it did at other clubs.

    As Toss Saint said, that won’t happen until we’re back in the Prem.

    I do tend to agree with this, but what major changes have been made to improve? Spors?

    Im not totally sure what or where the spot is that needs lancing in our clubs with now.

    It’s almost impossible to see any way out of this downward spiral we’re in at the moment. Having said that, I would rather Solak, who let’s face it must want to protect his investment, stays around, than him saying “**** it” and binning us off at a knockdown price to some fake Arab sheikh or similar.

    Edit: to address your point directly, it has to be in the region of the Director of Football, who has done some good stuff (Scienza mostly), and some not so good stuff (no striker, inexperienced manager). Maybe that’s the change needed? No idea though really.

    It’s weird, isn’t it? I would never, ever have thought Brentford made a good choice promoting their set piece coach to be manager. I guess some risks work out (Sunderland coach being another, Poch for us). SR do seem to take risks the whole time that turn out terribly though.

    See im not sure it is. I can’t put my finger on it, but I don’t think the DoF has had sufficient time for this to be down to them. Has been a looooonng problem festering away for me.

    TBF Martin was the right appointment at that time. We know how competitive the league is and he got done what he needed to get done.

    The mistake was how long we kept with his non flexible tactics at the next level.
