Considered thoughts on tonight’s car crash viewing #pafc
There was more genuine honesty shown in that forum than probably most of the others. Not just ‘technically true but worded carefully’ honesty but real honesty. Simon very nearly said sacking Cleverley is too expensive and I think he was largely giving an open assessment of how bad things are, maybe even too honest at times. It can’t have been nice for the players to hear- but some credit to the three of them, it can’t be said that they shied away from telling the ugly truth. But the fact that they genuinely think, despite admitting to having got so much wrong in the past, that they genuinely think Tom Cleverley is the right man is enough to make me lose any last shred of faith I had in their decision making or leadership. I accept it isn’t as simple as ‘just sell up’ because he needs to at the very minimum find someone to cover the black hole in our finances. And it goes without saying I hope I’m wrong and they’re sat smugly in three months. But any last hope I had that it’s the right leadership group to get us out of this hole, has vanished. Probably permanently.
