But if I were a Chairman I would have spoken to Hargreaves and let him know that the writing was on the wall as the results are not good enough.
Have to disagree with that. Of course we all want results to be better, but what more could anybody expect? CH is in his first management job with a zero budget for signing new players and still lumbered with the remnants and effects of previous regimes. He has had to search around for free transfers, bringing in young players hungry to advance their careers, some of whom will improve and do brilliantly, others who will fall by the wayside. That's football.
We are still in with an outside chance of the play-offs assuming we go on an unlikely run of good form, and we are in the semi-finals of a national cup competition. With the work Thea Bristow is initiating behind the scenes and a little more freedom for CH to strengthen the squad next summer, there's every reason to look forward to next season with optimism, and even to an exciting end to this season with the possibilities that remain.
By all means consider how we might improve and advance, but above all be positive. Negativity is a self-defeating attitude.
