So I sit on the slow train back to Manchester from a stag do in Edinburgh, unable to watch the Swansea game. The weekend before I was at a wedding in Belfast so had to give up my ticket for the Arsenal game. By all accounts I missed another odd city performance where we show glimpses of what we could be, alongside more prolonged spells of what we actually are! That being somewhat of a mismanaged club at all levels that seems somewhat lost both on and off the pitch.
When that happens you look to the management and we all no my long standing opinion on the tactical fool, but who is it actually that is the corporate fool at the club who has taken us backwards since Cook's departure?! Yes Pep is coming a man we now pin a lot of hope on! Yes he's mainly there because of Txiki Begerestain and hopefully we do owe Txiki that, but as far as the broad level management of the club is going he needs to pull his socks up significantly, for there is definitely a disenfranchised feel about, summed up perfectly by the disastrous handling of the Arsenal after match proceedings, where they should have simply just stayed out on the pitch. Highlighting yet further that as a club we simply need to start communicating better with those who make and define the club, namely the fans. Yes this battle is made hard for us by a united bias media desperate to pounce on us at the slightest mistake, but that's when you need intelligence at the helm to progressively steer you forward, something it seems at present is sadly lacking.
Anyway let's hope we can somehow just hold it together for Swansea this afternoon and look to a fresh start next season. However with the way this season has gone God know's what will happen?!
