Honestly, at this moment in time I cannot think of a more comprehensive way that any group of decision makers could fudge things up.
The 'executive branch' have -
1) Left the manager for dead - they even BRIEFED against him to the media and then pulled back. Disgraceful. They have poor Frank literally clinging to a fuc-king shared lunchtime canteen sandwichfest as 'proof' he is 'supported'. FFS, whatever anyone thinks of his work, that is a disgraceful way to treat anyone.
2) Left the squad in turmoil by NOT addressing key needs.
3) Left the supporters wondering WTF is going on?
4) NOT taken ANY decisive action either way, instead choosing to hedge their bets and see where the cookie crumbles as it crumbles.
The problem is we barely have any cookie left because the bas-tard's been crumbling for a while now. So by the time this lot recognise there needs to either be unequivocal support or a sacking, we'll be out of the transfer window, drifting towards some nasty dogfighting, and showing no decisiveness whatsoever to our star players who might then seek a way out.
As much as I think he should be sacked, I would've much, much rathered they'd made some PROPER statements of support, GIVEN him more in the window with regards to supporting him, and said to all of us, like it or not, we are BACKING him at the very LEAST until the summer.
All this cowardly bet-hedging and indecisiveness is enormously damaging to both us and Thomas Frank.
