Apparently they marked the occasion last week by turning up for their game with no goalkeeper, no water, no footballs and[U]no manager[U].
Quite extraordinary! Assuming all the above is true - and I have no reason to doubt it - it is a complete dereliction of duty to their own players and a discourtesy to the MFA and to the opposition. I doubt, therefore, if the lads will be back.
It seems that there has been no organised training for the last fortnight or so and the whole thing is in limbo. I'm told that there were plenty signs visible right through last season but that reasonable results papered over the cracks. Failure to act over the summer. means that an entire season has gone by the wayside.
Great pity to see this happening to such a normally progressive club.
I posted on this some weeks ago and was politely contradicted by Footiefanatic. Maybe now he'll concede that ol' Jim was right after all - though I get no pleasure from this one!
PS. Looks like I might have been right about Everton too!
