Well, it's the morning after and the pain is still as strong, the anger still clouding my judgement, and the bewilderment and hurt caused by our collapse no less severe. Above all though, is the realisation that it's done. We can't have any say in where the trophies end up this season. Difficult as it may be, we simply must look forward and try to build for next season. Only my opinion, but in terms of having a foundation to build on, any new manager has his work cut out.
For me, we start with the tried and trusted perceived wisdom that the spine of the team simply has to be solid. A goalkeeper, a centre back, and a striker. And that's just laying the foundations. As supporters we all have our opinions, and that's absolutely fine by me; but on top of the three positions mentioned, my opinion is we could add at least another four or five which have to be improved on.
I really could go on all day with this post. The improvement needed in every department of the club is quite frankly seismic. I'm sitting here asking myself if maybe I'm allowing the bitter disappointment of this season to cloud my judgement ? But I honestly don't believe I am. The job ahead IS massive. A complete restructuring of the club at every level is needed. Really is back to basics.
