Players Respect?
Posted: 28 Apr 2013, 18:01
Now it seems Mr Ling has lost the trust of probably more than half the fan-base and has a lot to do to win them back. My personal opinion is I would choose Knill and Brass over Ling and Taylor but that very much looks like it will not happen.
A couple more things worry me (other than the fan-base not really wanting it) with Ling returning. Firstly - are the board backing Ling because they feel he is the right man to take the club forward or is it purely the financial repercussions that would come with replacing him? We have known for some time that things are on a tight budget and the fact that it seems neither Knill or Brass were actually being paid clearly indicates we have not got a pot to p1ss in!
More worryingly for me is will Ling have lost the players respect? If the rumours are true regarding his dependency then I know if I was a player I would be far more questionable of him after this whole escapade. This the biggest worry as if we start badly and the players do not respect authority then the club could be torn apart and by the time appropriate measure are put in place we could be facing another dogfight.
I will (for one) give Martin another chance and (as some say on here) he has found some very useful additions in recent years on a tight budget but I really hope the players adopt the same attitude and the fans are not too quick to get the knives out otherwise it could be a very depressing 2013/14 season.
