URZZZZZZZZ Millsy Snowflake Royal Can't remember if it was under this shit show or the Thais.
Either way twice in a few years isn’t just poor, its piss poor.
We're terribly run. The sooner Dai oxf*rd off thd better
Terribly run we may be and Dais may be crap.
But you can't just ignore the crushing effects of Covid, the Cost of Brexit crisis and the strange WC timing in all this. These have been a
very strange couple of years.
This is true to a certain extent, but it hasn't stopped other clubs from continuing where they left off pre pandemic. Locally, Swindon, Oxford and Wycombe's attendances are all up compared to pre-pandemic levels, this is mainly down to having personnel in place doing the jobs. The RFC staff base is completely down to the bare bones at the moment, which is inexcusable given the wealth we have behind the club on face value. It's an absolute drop in the ocean compared to the player related spending and could make tangible improvements to the way we are run - but nothing seems to be changing.
I get that and agree. Clearly we've been run awfully, not least as evidenced by the rightful EFL penalty. All I'm saying is the unprecedented times we have experienced in the last couple of years may have exacerbated the original issues, which we're all aware of. i.e. already crap and so the crap times have continued to hit us harder as we've had less reserve.
Rather than no lessons learned and oh look we're in trouble yet again with a brand new unrelated cockup.
We can clearly see the effort that's gone in, all positive moves in the right direction bringing Bowen in, the Inces etc, and admirably keeping us in this league through shrewd loan signings etc. It's a very difficult act to keep all the plates spinning.
