The club is being allowed to rot from the inside, whilst they pay premium prices for really poor fayre, from a series of disinterested journeymen.
I'm afraid my patience snapped a few years ago after more than 50 years. π€·ββοΈ

So he has to take the responsibility now. The club is dying on its arse in front of our eyes. This is not what he promised us 10 years ago.
In hindsight I feel embarrassed that I could once have been considered a fan of Palios's ownership.
Everything's done on the cheap, assets being allowed to rot, chasing grants, delivering little, and where are the resilient revenue streams he promised us 10 years ago?
Shambles, innit!
