Dear Mr Bloom, Mr Barber and Mr Burke,
At the start of the season you asked us to be patient because you had had to appoint a new manager because Oscar had resigned and it would take time for the ten (or was it eleven) new players to gel. However, we had no need to worry because we had a squad which was capable of challenging for the play-offs, at least.
Instead, we have a team which is just about keeping out of the relegation places and a management team which appears to have no clear strategy for each game, let alone for the season. Perhaps more worryingly, the squad which was to be so successful now includes six loan players, two of whom have been brought in in the last fortnight, one apparently to replace a goalkeeper but who wasn't even on the bench today and another to replace a player who was apparently going to be out for several weeks but, it seems, may well be fit for the next game. Tonight, the manager appeared to be suggesting that there is an urgent need for a striker. ( as if it hadn't been obvious for weeks!) As we can only have five loan players in the squad on any one day, why do we have six? Presumably we are paying all, or at least some, of their wages?
Perhaps you could explain where we go from here? What is the point of being Premier League ready if we are in League One?
