Thing is Chip, it's all a question of perspective. We know that to be a decent enough record, there are some teams in L2 who might not get 12 points ALL YEAR. However, Useless Rovers fans are expecting to win the league without conceding so much as a shot on target (as if the gap between relegation fodder in L1 and champions of L2 is THAT wide!) so their perspective is that they have won precisely 6 games fewer than they were all expecting. Their board are clearly similarly ambitious, so it might well be a case of unrealistic expectations and the Big Time Charlie attitude costing Bucks his job.
