As McCann said everyone is to blame but he hasn't got the balls or respect for us to stand up and say sorry. For that alone he isn't a man I respect nor the man to be a leader. And he certainly isn't going to be coaching a team I want to watch.

In this instance whilst all are to blame the blame is proportional.

The biggest bollock is dropped by, you guessed it Papa (for letting his thick offspring anywhere near the club in any capacity).

Next in the 'dropped a bollock' stakes is the thick offspring himself. What an idiot thinking there is another way that hasn't been thought of or tried before, and that he can pull it off. To be honest I don't think he cares that much what division we play in. And to cap it all he appoints a head coach who can't coach. How bad can things get? Well I think there is a lot worse still to come.

Next in the blame stakes is, yes you have guessed, the **** Head Coach and his assistant. Never a coach or manager of any worth in a million years.

And lastly, yes the players must take some responsibility. BUT, have you ever worked for a ****er and thought **** it I'm off? Or been treated disrespectfully by your employer? If you have, you wouldn't be telling the truth if you say you continued giving your all for him/her or the organisation. I am not making excuses for the players merely pointing out organisations reflect the owners values and principles. And eventually the workforce and its product(s) reflect the state of any organisation. The on pitch performances are a natural consequence of playing for an employer and 'his' manager they have little or no respect or value for.

Whilst supporters think players should show and have as much loyalty as themselves it isn't ever going to be the case. It's a job and they'll get another either playing or doing something else. Just like we all have to.

So in the 'who is to blame stakes' I make it :

Papa Allam 50%
Vice Chair 30%
**** Head Coach and Assistant 15%
Players 5% tops.

I think that puts me out of step with the ex pros and possibly a lot if not all contributors to this discussion.

Lots of people know it isn't going to change until they have all gone. All we can wish for it is sooner rather than later. I am not hopeful.

McCann will be here next year and possibly until we have new owners.
I was replying to your post.

You alluded to the players not putting their all in due to the vibe,or lack of,at the Club?For what it's worth I don't think they did,do you?
 
James Scott has been told he can leave if we get an offer that matches what we paid for him

Sadly, that doesn't surprise me. He will have had a relegation clause in his contract which reduces his wages if relegated, but the downside of this is they must have also have a release fee as well. I suspect his agent will be touting him round Championship clubs as we speak.

And clubs back up in Scotland
 
Any player who has had a relegation clause activated will have their agents touting them around clubs hoping the new club will pay the release fee.

I think Burke may generate a bit of interest.

This makes me think any speculation about what our first Xl will look like at this point, 6 weeks before next season, is pretty much a waste of time. Have a feeling we will lose a lot of players in the next few weeks. I keep hoping this very large Hull City cloud has a silver lining but I ain't seen it yet.
