Excellent post old Pimpy, it certainly got me thinking !
Difficult situation, The Manager has done extraordinary well and should be suitably rewarded. He has vision for the Club and how football should be played versus your loyalty to the Club first aspect as so well put by your good self.
Perhaps he should do both become part of the Board and still oversee the playing side ?
Could it not be that there are people on board that are a little too restrained in their thinking and may be holding us back from reaching a higher status?
The unrest within us imho is down to the fact we are currently not consistently at our best but that surely is understandable considering the key players we have missing on a regular basis. I still think had we had the full squad available we would be in a much better league position than we currently are and we would all be shouting for the Board to compromise and keep our Manager happy and to continue our success story when we have a fully fit squad again.
