What I've been ranting about for days.

Good article.

Liked the Joy Division suggestion, and the first line of Love Will Tear Us Apart goes "When routine bites hard, and ambitions are low" which would seem to be very apt.

Sorted, ta. I had to do it on a Chromebook so typing was a bit awkward.

We’ve been at this crossroads for the past 40 years.

Can't argue with a word of it.

If you consider that the Manager is the most important person at the club, we're not very good at appointing the right man. It doesn't help that after appointing another poor manager we wait until we have one foot in the grave before sacking him. We're then not as appealing as we should be, no half decent coach will consider the task and we end up with a shortlist of has-beens, chancers and unqualified. It's an endless cycle and so bloody predictable. Make it bloody stop.
