The biggest Anorak stepped up to the plate!

Ultimately the club is up for sale and we’re going through the process. It’s taking a bit longer than we thought and might be stressful but how does that make him feel let down, and let down by whom? He’s got a tough job in terms of no budget but he knew that when he took the role.
There must just be a lot that’s happened behind the scenes that we don’t know about?

The owners stand above the Board. So, the owners have let both the Board and Manager down. The Board have both hands tied behind their backs just as much as Derek has his tied.

I like Derek and feel all season we've only been a couple of players away from being a good L1 team.

Cole Stockton, its like we just sat around waiting for offers when in hindsight we should of been offering him to clubs in the summer in order to get a replacement.

Instead, his ridiculous tantrum tactics to force through a below value move shifted the focus towards us standing up for ourselves and not being bullied. Ludicrous behaviour, he should be fuming at whoever advised him at the time. Another decent season and he'd have had top League One clubs chucking £4k/£5k a week at him. But now, he's a 'flash in the pan' player at this level who'll probably have to get the begging bowl out at Port Vale or something. He's shot himself in the foot just as much as he's damaged our chances this season.
