Oh come on, anybody who claims they have had a ST for 20 years but this is the FIRST time they have considered not renewing is either lying or exaggerating for impact, or has simply forgotten a lot of the past 20 years!

At home this season we are W6 D6 L1. Won almost half of our matches and only lost once, and we have had some enjoyable performances as well, alongside the results, it really hasn't all been shit or a grind. Including our most recent one, and although Peterborough may have been poor and missing some players, they are 10th in the league and put six past Wigan yesterday so let's not pretend it was a walkover.

I am not making out it is fun right now (mostly away from home), but our first L1 season under Evans for instance, the football wasn't exactly exciting and we went 10-8-5 at home, so on a par with now. In 2020/21 and 2021/22 we lost just one match fewer than we won at home, in 2019/20 we went 2-6-9 at home, in 2013/14 we went 7-5-11. In almost every season in the last 20 years our home form (and performances) have been no or little better than now, and often quite a bit worse.

We are on a shit run, we are struggling and not playing well, but if anybody has genuinely had a ST for 20 years and this is the first time in that time they are claiming they won't renew, with us sitting just outside the L1 playoffs and having lost just once at home all season (and having won almost 50% of matches), when in previous seasons we have been truly abysmal, getting walloped every week and facing relegation out of the FL whilst winning only twice at home all this season, than that to me is, frankly, bullshit.
