Opinions seem to differ as to how many players we are light, but obviously we are not up to strength.
I doubt very much whether we are "happy to give our rivals a nice head start".
I don't agree that it is piss-poor management. We have been the victim of some very unfortunate circumstances...
In response to much of the negativity around at the moment, I would like to commend to you all the words of Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters, as sung in the above song:
You've got to accentuate the positive,
Eliminate the negative,
Latch on to the affirmative,
Don't mess with Mr Inbetween...
