I agree and am mindful of that. There's a section of our fanbase that in my opinion expect too much and are more a hindrance than help to the mangement and team. Not making the play offs is being deemed as a failure and naturally there has to be a scapegoat. It won't be easy for any manager coming in that doesn't match the boo boys expectations.
I will say it again cause it's relevant to subject in hand. To hear what was sung by a section of our own support at Rowett during the Norwich game was completely counter productive, shocking, shameful and fucking disgraceful.
It was a real low point for me in my 40 plus years of going. It may well be shit to some but he's done nothing but good for our club. Defended us when he didn't have to say anything when the press were doing another job on us over the knee bollox.
Prospective managers see that and think fuck managing that lot. We are one bad appointment away from a relegation. One poor run of results away from seeing another manager publicly humiliated in front of his players and employer.
I think we've gone as far as we can go in this division. We've hit our ceiling and without a huge dollop of good fortune and luck we won't go any further. I can live with and accept that. What concerns me is the fans that can't and won't.
