Success on the pitch does not automatically mean financial success.When BSA left we were fairly even yet you blame our decline on him.
Anyway your entitled to your opinion.As it happens Europa leauge money is not that much compared with CL money.I think we were under 10 million in debt when he left still had Nolan,Anelka,Diouf,Stelios,SKD,Jussi just off the top of my head. At least we beat Port Vale 2-1.
Just saying that Fat Sam has to carry some of the blame and I don't believe his self-publicist hype, especially as in private he laughs at what he did to us. There will always be Wanderers fans who like Allardyce and believe the hype that surrounds him (well more than Blackburn, Newcastle and West Ham fans anyway) so we'll have to agree to disagree about the fat ****.
Since he left our managers have floundered around trying to recover the situation and a combination of bad judgement, bad decisions and bad luck have brought us to this current position.
Can't pinpoint one mistake or moment as there have been many.
If forced to decide I'd agree with Sluffy that the team that got relegated should have done better especially as we got relegated by the narrowest of margins - their attitude sucked and Block 39 Seat 955 South Stand Row 2 in the Britannia Stadium was the worst place in the world to be on Sunday 13th May 2012 when they finally capitulated and I'll never forgive them for that memory.
But equally we could point to bad luck and key injuries especially Holden who I think may have made a difference.
You point to our current predicament but at least we finally have a manager who is under no pressure to emulate those glory days in the short term, has stopped the flood of money going out of the club, and has finally introduced a sense of realism to the fans - something that has been missing throughout the Megson and Coyle eras. BN and media still deluded though.
Now that we're finally waking up and smelling the coffee then maybe there's a chance we can steady the ship and start rebuilding from here. And that's a good thing after years of throwing good money after bad.
