l feel worse than l did at Stoke

I also feel worse than I did in 2008. In fact, I feel worse than I did in any previous relegation. It’s the sense of waste that is just so hard to accept. This was so avoidable.

Stoke on a dank, bitter Tuesday night is exactly when the full enormity of what has happened finally hits home.
 
I think what hurts for me is this was a fall from grace higher than ever previous relegation. We had a squad full of International players , a top rated Manager and the best training ground in the country. I feel betrayed by the manager , backroom staff and players. Topp is not a football person and has to pay for advice and help from trusted people. They have failed him and us, while getting rich at the same time. We could all see that the team selections , set up and substitutions have been criminal. An under 15s manager could have done better. Its as though we wanted to go down and I really mean that. Rogers wanted to prove a point early on and it became to late to stop the rot. The damage done is going to cost tens of millions with players leaving for nothing and replacements needed. I have never felt so disconnected from the players and club, this will heal in time but heads need to roll and a complete clear out made. If its true the club is for sale then perhaps we have gone full circle and its for the best, but I will never slag of the owners they made my dreams come true so I thank them for that.
