Precisely this but unfortunately people are focusing purely on the manager.
He's made mistakes for sure but he's had his hands tied since day 1 and who do we think we could attract to the club who could do any better?
I've not posted on here for a while, so I thought I'd put my tuppence worth in.
In short, I agree with SG. Yes, CH is not entirely blameless in the current sorry state we find ourselves in, but changing managers will not address the issues that are causing these problems.
Remember, most of our current problems started approx 3 years ago, long before CH was a twinkle in anyone's eye for the managers position. Any new manager taking over from CH will still have the same team, same budget (by all accounts the square root of fu<k all) and by default, the same issues to deal with. If CH was to go, who do you think (and be realistic) will want the job under the current circumstances?
As for the board, I'm not familiar with what occurs at the boardroom level and will not even try to elaborate on here. However, this is where any assessment on the problems at TUFC should start and Thea, bless her, has identified this already and has got the ball rolling with Kelvin coming on board. All I/ we can hope for is that this assessment is concluded sooner rather than later and identifies what is going wrong so measures can be put in place to mitigate them. We can then hope for some stability and get some positivity back to our club.
To put my head above the parapet even more, my last thought is for us, the fans. Whenever I leave a match I feel that we are becoming more and more part of the problem with TUFC at the moment. Yes, I appreciate that we all have a right to an opinion and to disapprove with the way the team is playing at the minute, but I feel that its started to get out of hand.
Think of Angusgate last week. The lad got fined and suspended for 2 weeks because he retaliated to some vile abuse from the Pop. Yes, you can argue that he shouldn't have retaliated, but why give out that level of abuse in the first place. Has that supporter been banned for 2 weeks - probably not. We as fans don't seem to be helping the cause at all. We're just adding to it.
