And the tension between the manager/players and the fans was becoming intolerable.

Don't rewrite history, it was the lack of entertainment that was unacceptable.

I loved watching us lose our last 3 home games in league 1 0-1 whilst barely having a shot.

Yeah, watching us lose limply but with good dinners for Terry Butcher was better.

No but just because the choices following Mick’s departure have been disastrous doesn’t mean it wasn’t time for him to leave.

And most of that was down to the owner, having finally breached the top 6 for the first time in his stewardship of the club deciding, “Phwoar..too hot for me. Here you go, Mick - I’ve heard there’s a Polish defender available for seven grand and Toure’s interested in coming to play for us. No, not Yaya...or Kolo.....”

For me, McCarthy’s greatest crime was his willingness to shield Evans from flack.

No, but it does show that those who were trying to suggest some caution knew what they were talking about.

The fears were very real but not everyone would listen.

Such a thing as being too cautious though, and for something which is purely for entertainment (like watching football) you can't always take the safe option.

So, we took the middle option with Lambert in which we ended up with limp football AND losing games loads?

There is, but there was more at stake than just entertainment.

The club staying alive is far more important for now.

Nonononononon, it was much better losing 3-0 to a Norwich side barely into second gear than drawing with them.
