I do think factors in play are that we have less to spend and that we chose to invest a proportion of our budget on the reserves which those teams didn't. Sacking Watts and not replacing him is a good totem for our recruitment of the last couple of years.
Do you seriously believe in all this spin you spew?
The factors in play you state are all down to mismanagement and surely the buck must stop with the coach.
Marquee signing aside Wires attacking and support play was light years ahead of ours and their defence was solid. I actually enjoyed watching them play but ultimately it comes down to coaching.
Think LR has reached his ceiling.
For all that Tony Smith and Brian Mcdermott won at their respective clubs sentiment played no part in their dismissals.
A change is needed.
Tonight's performance was very reminiscent of Gentle's last game in charge couple that with last season and enough should be enough.
