As I understand it, the points were for this season so we just finish further adrift at the bottom of the group.
No coach, best players leaving, broke, now our good reputation going down the pan. Looking forward to next season already!!
Hmmm... not sure about our good reputation. There have been very few county cricketers banned for match fixing but we've seen two our players banned for dodgy goings on at a Sussex match.
Just trying to think of something positive to justify next season’s ST. I know, we’ll have a smart entrance to the ground (are the gates going?)

Bad news but hopefully a new start next season if the club can manage the finances to get us there.

On the plus side based on recent stories we don't appear to be racist unlike a few of the counties

In all of this you can put your votes in for player of the season.
Rawlins could possibly win young and senior player awards.

With the six games we suspended him and the ECB handing him a further 9 game ban, Mitch will have missed 15 games.
Signing him was a joke in the first place and yes, I'd imagine what he did is more than adequate grounds for termination. Will they do it
Of course not, this is Sussex ffs!!!Yes, that's a good point. There have been some real horror stories coming out over the past few months

I hope we can terminate. Imagine coming in as a very senior player, to set and example, and then ball tampering. Idiot.

Not looking for scapegoats, but you have to wonder quite what Rob Andrew has brought to the party. Happy to be told. We don't seem to have flourished in the last few years.
It’s a hard one to answer. Is our recent crapness down to how the club has been managed or are we victims of a wider decline of county cricket, particularly those counties without test grounds?
Almost certainly it’s a combination of both.
Personally I think anyone running that club Would struggle to keep us competitive, although at times the club hasn’t helped itself. Certainly Andrew overestimated how effective Gillespie would be. He’s entitled to feel let down by Gillespie. Gillespie was given more than reasonable backing and failed to deliver. If you’re looking for a main villain , I’d go with the Aussie.
Actually, that's a pretty good rule for life generally
He wears very nice suits.

Not unlike when Southampton brought in Clive Woodward. That ended well.
