Have we lost our mojo, the togetherness that got us to where we have been. I think there is a lot more to deal with then just signing good players. To be honest I am concerned about our club. Since January we have been truly awful. |  | | |  |

We’ve spent £160 million on 15 or so players, not much better than our league one group, who don’t have that shared unity and togetherness, that winning helps bind.
It doesn’t help that the manager describes us and by definition them as ‘league one’ because the has a fragile ego…, terryfying when 90% of them have never kicked a ball in league one, for any club.
McKenna dwarves a lot of credit, and has a huge amount of goodwill still, but it’s a massive red flag he doesn’t even have a narrative for his failings.
He’s 39, learning, and it’s early days in his career, but he sounds anything but elite with the ‘league one’ nonsense. | | | |

We were at least £150m short of what's needed to stay in the highest quality league in the world. The way the management, team and fans have largely stayed together through an incredibly tough (but unexpected) season shows that the opposite of your assessment is in fact true.
What exactly is your concern? Please spell it out. [Post edited 26 May 18:05]

Is it £160 million now?

I thought that it was £120m spread over 4-5 years and apparently we are about to recoop £30m from Delap.
Your figures are nonsense. |  | | |

My concern is not the money.
It is has McKenna learnt anything and can he change things when things not going to plan without making like for like changes I'm not so sure. | | | |

How much of it is down to the quality of the opponent though? We don’t have a right to beat teams like Spurs or Chelsea or even Bournemouth or Wolves for that matter. There’s no doubt it’s been a disappointing season and we dared to dream it might be better, and it’s boring talking about it all the time but the reality is we’re a long way off the established premier league clubs and Jack Clarke and Jacob Greaves aren’t going to bridge that in 1 summer.
I dare say if we hosted Millwall or Preston next week we might come away thinking the ‘mojo’ is back. It’s a totally different level.
All that said there’s some work to do. We need to get players like Philogene & Clarke implemented into a system that suits them and us, and the midfield certainly needs and will get investment. It’s nowhere near the doom & gloom some people are making out though, we’ve got the bones of a squad that should be very dangerous next season. |  | | |

He's made loads of changes throughout the season but we've been outgunned by established PL sides. It's simply not a level playing field. Of course he's learned.
Even if he hadn't, your assessment of being 'concerned for the club' suggested something more than having an obvious plan D, E F etc. | |

The time to be concerned was when we spent two months knowing Derby were going to take Waggy off us, Evans had cut costs to the point that the youth team were playing on pitches with blue touchline paint rather than white and we didn't have new kit for youth team, we had managers who were 15 years after their sell by date and there was a tree growing out of Churchman's roof. Not now. [Post edited 26 May 18:12]

I agree going down to league one was horrendous. But I want us to be the best we possibly can and be regulars in the top league. Maybe I was spoilt in the Robson era. Although I was there from about 1970 when we weren't quite so good. | | | |

No. The togetherness is very obvious to see as while we have struggled in the latter half of the season, there has been a clear team spirit still in the camp and on the pitch.
Second half of the season was awful, but at no point have we seen our players at each other or whinging in the press. They’ve gone out week in week out and tried to get things on track but it hasn’t quite happened because of a number of influencing factors, the main one being our squad was not good enough to stay up, compounded by injuries.
You seem to be set on making more out of our poor run than needs to be, reset over the summer and go again, as the club is in as good a place it can be post relegation as far as I am concerned. |  | | |

Up to £160m now. Why not make it a round £200m? A little ‘polishing’ will sound more impressive.
Who has a fragile ego? Your post made no sense. If you mean McKenna, do you know him? You must do to make a comment like that. What’s he like? I’m interested to know.
The players were better than the League One group by a long way.
He doesn’t need a ‘narrative for his failings’. You in your undoubted inside knowledge and wisdom have already written it.
What do you mean by ‘sounds anything but elite’ and what is nonsensical about any league one comments he has made?
You have endlessly stuck the boot in to anything and everything about this club. I’d stick to the Pink Un or WOTB if I were you and recount that glorious Goss goal in Munich on repeat. OTBC |  | | |

I think cohesion this season was an issue because most teams still had much better players, by and large. In addition it felt that the relentless pressure in the games and what was surrounding them along with player rotation and injuries prevented the team coming together in the way the L1 team did after KM replaced Cook.
It felt like no space to breathe in the Premier League. Even lesser teams looked daunting. Only people within the club and the players will truly know why we fell apart, but my guess is other teams found us out, grew stronger anyway and our confidence drained away. Losing became normal.
We do need a reset but I think confidence will soon return if we make a decent start and the quality of player over what the opposition has should help. The reverse of this season if you like. | | | |

Increasing the amount we spent AGAIN?

I'm jealous of you seeing the Robson era! Hard to match that but I really do believe we will be giving it a really good go.
Relax. We've got very ambitious owners who are running the club well, one of the best young coaches in world football and a very bright future.
Victims of our own rapid success, we will benefit from having had this season as hard as it was.
We're in very good shape! | | | |
