They have had a bloody awful season, the Club needs a shake up from top to bottom.Lancs are a bit shite really, aren't they?
Let’s start at the top……worse management than the ragsThey have had a bloody awful season, the Club needs a shake up from top to bottom.

Lancs are also due a windfall from the 49% sale of the hundred teams, plus will own 51% of the originals which they can either keep or sell on, probably for a huge sum.The committee are more focused on making as much money as possible rather than the cricketing side.
Lancs are the second richest cricket club in England after Surrey with assets of just under £60M and made a profit of £6M last year.
This is due to the ground being given special test status, the hotel, gigs and corporate events. The club have a £30M outstanding loan due to the redevelopment of Old Trafford yet the club are still in the black.Even getting relegated to division 2 won't affect the club that much.
Playing wise this season has been a disaster. Dale Benkenstein has been really poor as first team coach and the overseas players have been shit. I believe there's a really good crop of youngsters coming though starting with Rocky Flintoff but that's really not going to help the first team now.
It's going to be a really rough next couple of years playing wise but the committee don't care as the club is making money.
I agree a shake up is needed but I doubt that'll happen
Yes mate it’s a sad decline Lancs are in. I had trials for them in my youth and attended regular winter coaching sessions led by John Savage and Andy Hayhurst. There used to be such a buzz especially in the era (that I grew up in) of Akram, DeFreitas, Simmons, Fairbrother, Watkinson, Fowler, Allott, Mendis etc etc. They were a fucking fantastic side playing at a fantastic ground and my greatest memory is sitting there watching a one day game v Somerset and the battle between Akram and Jimmy Cook (Somerset legend from overseas) was pure cricket theatre.Gutted , watch on YouTube from the start of season as usual from Channel Islands, or Tenerife, or where ever I am … what the fuk for … i was was lucky enough to always to be at Lanks in the 70, 80 90 s Etc .
