The blame game.

Many here want to blame the old board.

Me, I blame the players. They need to step up and improve the way they are playing. If they do we will not be relegated.

    Poor Ben gets blamed for a lot.

  • Sorry to say it is Mr Teflon Murray who is to blame.

    Sorry to say it is Mr Teflon Murray who is to blame.

    Rubbish. Unless you are saying that he deserves criticism for running out of money and having to sell the club after pumping his own cash in for the best part of two decades.

  • Why are we having this debate... Its clearly Ben Hamer's fault ;-)
  • I'm not keen on 'blame' conversations. They seldom have any benefit in business. Blame is usually an attempt to pin a number of mistakes, bits of bad luck or any other event on one thing. Additionally, things that didn't go too well tend to get exaggerated as being the core reason. I think it would be possible to list a number of things that have not gone to plan since the days we were in the top half of the Premiership.

    To balance this, some things have gone better than expected. I think our promotion from League One went better than we could have ever imagined and some really promising youngsters are coming through the ranks, albeit too late to have as much as impact as we would like this season.

    Picking the things that had the biggest impact is not easy. Money badly spent after Curbs went and the complacency that pervaded when we came down to the Championship were for me the biggest factors. However, I am not as well informed as many others. All I would say is that we shouldn't try to pin things on one person or one decision.

    Like it or not, there seems to be a strong blame culture in all aspects of our lives these days.

    Personally I want to know who's responsible.

    all 4, but in what ratio is hard to determine .. 2 sets of owner(s) who behave(d) very strangely, a demotivated manager, the hub of the team (perhaps) demoralised .... BUT .. we are not cooked just yet
