Yup.
I think there is probably some merit in them putting some kind of stock take/wrap up/looking forward statement on the website. Along the lines of:
Season hasn’t gone well - ( I’d gloss over whose fault that was) Perhaps acknowledge the squad was paper thin and back room staff non existent but say we have learnt from experience and with massive financial uncertainty they took a risk adverse approach.
Admit the way they handled the TO away game was a shambles and contributed to the humiliation of not getting into Play offs.
Say -We’re looking ahead positively.
We have a new coach in place ( I’d gloss over his pedigree as an unsuccessful L1 manager with significant other responsibilities- is not a deputy head job a full time post? And then there is the Jamaican national team in a WC year.)
We have a new ground ( gloss over the crippling expense)
We know crowds have dropped but we’re going to engage with supporters families whatever ( gloss over the fact the drop is over 50% on the previous year and the effort to get it to something normal will require skills previously unseen)
Something on actively recruiting and retaining and getting in staff to deliver high quality on and off pitch.
Something moderately honest - it’s going to be a difficult year but with your support we can have good times again.
Thank Danny, TT. Thank the players who are retiring Olson (I assume) and those leaving GR, Fozzie and the loaners.
Then they should get off the pot until it’s time to tell us about the players they have retained and recruited.
