Never felt he was doing a good job,we've been on a down hill spiral since those first few August games. I think promotion is now a distant dream, relegation next season looking more of a reality unless drastic changes are made, and by drastic changes I mean drastic changes. No1 Yes Man Birch, who has done nothing for us since his arrival other than lumber us with a useless manager. If ever there was a fryingpan to fire scenario in chairman selection this was it. He was brought in with views to selling the club,since his arrival the club value has surely depreciated and nowhere near the potential it had when Jenkins & Co. sold it.
It goes without saying a reputable manager who can pick us up by the bootlaces again.
Any genuine investor in this club would speculate to accumilate, the owners we have have one objective, to bleed it to death, they have already recovered their purchase monies by selling it off to shareholders, plus player sales, so it's of no real concequence to them if the club goes to the wall.
Realistically we are in deep shit unless some Arab or Chinese sees us as a viable investment, but one can only dream.
