As the ship sinks under the waves, our board finally realise we had a leak. Today should have happened after the Feravaros debacle in August. I have experienced many ball partings as a supporter in bad season terms, but none even come close to this year. The level of incompetence and denial was and is truly eye watering.
It is not a surprise though, I knew this day was coming for years. The failure to capitalise on our dominance in the CL by never once being prepared for it is Lawells legacy. He never grasped that to secure qualification required investment. He never took the threat of our pals across the city seriously. He kept up his strategy of buying cheap and hoping. He was a conman, mire interested in his bonus.
Today is a massive relief though, however too late for this year. It all depends upon how we react. How Dermot Desmond our billionaire owner reacts to King calling him out, and I agreed with King. Will he pick up the gauntlet? For me he should as a matter of personal pride. If he doesn't, then we will be fucked for years to come.
At least now we can hope. But, that is tinged with the knowledge that our board don't have a single ball between them. They need to know that if they don't act, season ticket sales will crash and they will need to attend games in a tank.
All the talk now will focus on a whirlwind of cunts itk telling us they have been told this or that top manager is about to arrive. My own feeling is, not top level manager would come unless they needed a return to a better league. Why would they? We always talk about the chance for them manage in the CL, but you have to qualify first and the last four years we haven't even been close.
We have a massive rebuild to do. That takes time. We don't have time, so resources need to pump prime that process. And therein lies the problem. If we want a good manager who fancies raising his profile by doing ok in the CL he will need assurances he will be backed with cash. Being backed with cash is as rare a thing at us as Blues on here having the Rags as their second favourite team.
So although I'm happy Lennon is getting to fuck after sinking us, we are still in the lifeboats and confidence in a ship coming to our rescue, for me at least, is not high. Certainly not as high as the waves that threaten to engulf us.
I am reminded of the line from Sean Connery as he lay shot to fuck , What are you prepared to do now? Well Desmond, either put on the fucking gloves, or leave the ring like a shitebag. There is no middle option. Choose well you ****.
