Listening to the phone-in.... you would definately be mistaken in thinking rams fans do think we have a devine right to go up. Despite the competitive nature of this league. A bit of perspective would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clough-6 months----Maclaren-18 months--Clements--6 months--Wassall,,hope not, 3 years of hope and the next level championship,football,The only common denominator And to some blameless, Sam Rush,. He took us to the next level,starting with a fantastic set of players,his words. When will the blame game start at the top. Million s spent on top players to get to the playoffs---groundhog day,,,we were their in 2013/14, On a small budget,,and made the final Rush joined in 2013? Morris has been owner since August/September? Where are you getting this 5 and 7 year nonsense from. Next you'll be blaming Brian Clough for spending too much money in the 70s and ruining our early 80s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I know we were top on boxing day but we only going one way under his stewardship, mid-table. Both of those sentences are your opinions thats all,no basis in fact whatsoever. We could just as easily have finished in the top 2.All we know is Wassall had the chance and he blew it.Clement could have got us out of our blip. All the top teams at that time were all stuttering,their owners stuck with them,ours panicked that's why I have no confidence in our owner.He keeps cocking it up.

If he knew his best team why the chopping and changing? Every game was like line up bingo (as some posters put it) We could have finished top 2 but we could have finished 10th quite easily. I guarantee if we had finished 10th and out of the play off places most would have been complaining that we kept PC on. Our performances especially from late Nov-early Dec were a concern and when we weren't getting the individual moments to win games we looked shocking and had very poor results. The performances against Reading (yes we drew) and Birmingham at home were not acceptable. Something had to change. Morris gave PC every opportunity to address the problem, but was more concerned on where the result would take him than where the performance would take the team.

Having total control of the club,will be hard to relinquish ,and Mel will take his time,is he a chairman,or a part of a committee Dealing with all aspects of the club,,and changing Head Coaches,if they fail,.--it is called the blame game.

Comrade 86 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The silence is nearly as deafeningas the self-entitled wailing from some quarters on here. Somewhat surprisingly, the prime directive appears to be getting the right man for the job and NOT keeping a few impatient posters on here informed even when there is no news to pass on. Hold your water and hope for the best, would be my advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkoRam Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If there's no news then what exactly do people want to hear coming from the club? Hourly tweets stating there's no further news? That said, this scenario has been on the cards since Clement was sacked, unless we had secured promotion in which case Wassall would have got the job automatically I'm sure. So with all that time, I would expect the wheels to turn quickly. A shortlist to be in place and interviews to have started. If not then I would find that worrying. Although we want the right guy in place we don't want that guy to loose too much ground in terms of player sales and recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Ram Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'm giving up Twitter, fed up of the whining and the continual short list posts. Have the club released their short list? No. So shut up about it, they're rumours. The shouts saying 'I want an announcement saying Wassall's been sacked'. How stupid are you? He had a job to the end of the season and its ended so his job has ended. How much clearer does that need to be put? How are we 'entitled'? I'd like some of those who say we are to eloquently state why we are. Come on, let's here it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
