David you're absolutely right and all hands must pull together to ride out the storm, but, to continue the sinking ship analogy, we may survive sinking to a lower level, but will we actually stay afloat long enough to survive the storm? And it's a perfect storm, both financial and existential. I'm donating, along with others, a regular £10 to help with the bailing out, but the captain and crew appear to be fighting a losing battle. Yes we should all be cheering them on, but for many if not most of us all hope is gone. Perhaps a lull in the storm, a couple of wins, will give everyone renewed energy, and our heroes may win through and save the ship. But even if we get behind the club and manager we may yet be doomed; that's what is so depressing for many people. It's not the kind of excitement they're looking for when they go to watch (or play) football..
