    Furthermore I'm careful not to call other fans out while hiding behind a nom de plume.

    That wasn't my point, at all. I was questioning whether a prospective manager would challenge the job that the person responsible for recruitment had been doing.

    Because from what I'm seeing, there's either a failure in the budget [meaning the club can't or won't pay enough to bring players in that could get the club out of this league].

    Or the budget is there, but there's a problem with identifying and recruiting players with the requisite levels of skill and attitude that would ultimately lead to promotion. I can't see most of the current squad, Cook [on last season's form at least] excepted, nailing down places in the teams that are currently in the automatic promotion places.

    I really hope that it’s Steve Evans but it won’t be.

    Ah. So you're ok with convicted criminals playing for us but just not managing.

    Makes sense.

    The trouble it’s one who never seems to learn and it’s highly likely he will transgress again

    I turned my back to pitch, had a heavy sigh and a tear rolled down my cheek.
