A legacy is something you leave behind, not a ten year blip in a sea of shit. 3 relegations to the third tier alone is more than the total number of promotions. Just think about that for a minute. I don't know what the fuss is all about

We were promoted from the Championship, had 9 years in the Premier League, reached an FA Cup Final and played in Europe. And it's not looking good, but this season isn't quite over yet. The lockdown doesn't seem to have done us any favours at all. Doesn’t seem to have affected other teams around us though has it , or are the rules different for them ?seems to me that our players thought the season was over . It's affected some teams worse than others. We were on a good run of form, coming off the back of a 4-? win. Leicester and Sheffield United probably wished the break didn't happen, and they're at the better end of a higher league. I also wonder if O'Neill's positive COVID test has had a negative impact. How long wasn't he training with the players, at what was such a crucial time?

Peter means well but it isn’t a coincidence that since John was made more of a front figure in 2016/17 we’ve gone down bank.

They got lucky with TP. The football clubs success over the 10 year period was down to him no one else. Credit Hughes until he lost the plot. But ultimately it was the removal of the course of TPS squad, Walters , Whelan, Huth was the beginning of the end. Without TP’s core Hughes team was nothing. I berated TP at the time. I was glad to see him go. But , with beautiful hindsight, it is plain to see that he was responsible for our glory years and NOT Coates and his band of merry men.

Nobody doubts that they mean well, and their actions during covid have been admirable. However we are being run incompetently, I wont go over the mistakes cause theyve been gone over a million times. They have the resources to make us successful but no plan. The sad thing is we are now in a worse place than when they came back, say what you like about the icelandic owners but they didnt leave us in a mess like this

Coates' legacy will always be Premier League football, an FA Cup final and European adventure. That's how memory in football works. We also have a large, if functional, stadium and training facilities to last a generation. We were given all this without the club ever taking the piss out of the fans - look at some other clubs to see how bad it can get.
You will have to dive a little deeper into the history books to discover the limp chief executive, the backward recruitment and the heavy heavy landing the club took after its fall from grace.

As I said somewhere else last night the Coates family ensured that those players got 100% of their wages unlike players at Leeds, Derby, Luton and other who had 60/80%. The famity deserve credit and gratitude for that from the players. Instead the family have had to sit and watch about 25% effort while players at other clubs have upped their effort. That's how they show gratitude. Perhaps the problem is that as a club we swaddle them in a comfort blanket so often that the players are unaware themselves that there is a problem. I'm glad MON has pointed it out to them. It shouldn't be part of his job to have to do that.

Great memories but the club is in a much worse state than when he took over again in 2006.
