10 or so games really isn't enough to turn round a team which is irretrievably fooked.
It's more than enough to find a formation.
Jim Harvey signed utter rubbish. We're rock bottom and just lost away to one of the better teams in the league.
Maybe it's time we all stopped believing we've got a god given right to be in this league and started getting real. Clubs like us go up and down, this time the down is longer. I've given up blaming people, I'll stick to supporting.
I think we all got a bit deluded with our penultimate season in the conf believing we had a divine right to be a top non league club. We don't, we're average sized at best this season with a fanbase dining out on former glories. Just accept it and get on with the fight.
Clubs do not get relegated or go on a downward spiral by accident, our last period in the doldrums (the long stay in the Unibond leagues) was for financial reasons, however our current downward spiral is purely due to incompetence by both Chairman and subsequent managers. We don't have a divine right to be a Conference National league club, we definitely have one to be in Conference North, given our debt free status, fan base, sources of income (yes, the CSH), wealth of town and although not always relevant our history. We are a top 8 conference north club these days, financially )and should at least be a yo-yo club until we get bigger backers and there certainly shouldn't be 21 clubs better than us in Conference North. I'm guessing you haven't been a supporter for long, but believe it or not this club existed before Grahame Rowley and the current Board arrived at the club and it will exist when they finally decide to get their coats and leave. As a supporter for over 25 years, this is our lowest point in my time.
In my view, Jim Harvey has been treated dreadfully, purely to take the heat of the Chairman - will he sack Doughty and Heathcote if they only win 1 league game in 10, I very much doubt it.
