So TEP and OXO etc you are happy to be served up the crape we have been served up over the last few seasons, You may be a few of the last going to games so please put the lights out and lock the gates on your way out.
New ground dream on
Short answer = no - although things are definitely better under CE than they were with Adam Murray previously. The thing is, what is your suggestion ? Another new manager - or a new Board ? Because it's the Board that keep employing these 'failures'. It's a difficult one and I'm realistic. Look back at previous managers - Murray, Greene, Lee, Drury, Hurst & Scott, Welsh, Tommy Taylor, Evans. We could find fault with all of these (probably with the exception of Hurst & Scott) but aren't so many non-league clubs living within their means in the same boat? Look at the 'big names' in our league alone. Didn't Stockport used to be at Championship level ? I guess a lot of it come down to your expectations.
If we are punching well below our weight, taking into account how much money we have at our disposal compared to our peers, consideration of geographical location etc etc then we should probably all by disappointed. The thing is, most of us aren't privy to this information so it's hard to make a judgement. What tends to happen then is that we set our expectations based on what happened years ago - and things have changed.
If anyone has all the answers then It'd be great to hear what they are - particularly who the manager should be, who the Board should be, what league / position we should be at and how our finances stack up compared to the rest.
