The manager so poor he's taken a village side to a higher place finish than us!
Q.E.D.
That's a bit disrespectful to Buxton, however they are being bankrolled somewhat and that's why Elliot is there, if they were being run on a sustainable budget he'd be nowhere near them.
We all know it was Richard who was the brains behind the recruitment, the fact is Elliott hopelessly failed to get a tune out of a bunch of players who have proven themselves to be winners in a properly managed environment. You seem to base your respect for Elliott on him being a nice guy, which he was, but he came up woefully short when it mattered in the big games.
And lets be honest, given the shambles of last summer's recruitment it took a pretty poor side to finish below us, it was no achievent to finish above us last season!
