No, I already mentioned what he should say. He should say it's taken longer than expected but are hellbent on turning it around. Really doubt it would make us more ropable, 1-7-1 is doing enough of that. We don't need anyone from the club coming out and saying anything, we need to show it on-field. Keep the silly projections to themselves. Like I said you'd have to be stupid to believe that a plan back in 2014 wouldn't change.
Not accepting mediocrity at all actually, so no idea how you came to that conclusion. More just being fed up with being fed rubbish.
He could've said it internally and still someone would've been accountable for it. Because it's public wouldn't change that at all. People see how bad we are performing this year to make those assumptions and come to conclusions of change themselves.
Yeah, not buying it. Summers wouldn't come out and say top 4 isn't our expectation anymore. Lets be realistic. Like I said above, accountability can come internally. You think that if we get to the bye still with 1 win that the club won't do anything because an expectation wasn't set publicly? It was made public to appease fans back when we were doing it tough, but things change and we need to deviate from the plan. Why can't they just come out and say that. That doesn't mean we are accepting mediocrity or whatever else you can think of. It means we need to make tough decisions now for the betterment of the football club. Maybe the plan was flawed from the beginning. That's OK. We just need to stop being so delusional - the club has overrated the list judging by some ITK comments regarding Lethlean's views.
What the club is dishing out to supporters right now isn't what they wanted to stick by from the beginning: transparency.
Rolling out public statements means absolutely nothing, it just makes us look stupid when the shit hits the fan. Changes will be made regardless of outside noise.
what do you want him to say:
"our aim was top 4, but we obviously aren't going to make the 4, so we are going to sack the under performing senior coach. appoint a new one, then replace the assistant coaches with who the new senior coach wants in there"
if you were the senior coach, assistant coaches or players what would you do then.
"well the decisions made, we are done for here, so start thinking about the next job, no point trying really"
"well i'm not getting delisted, so go into self preservation mode"
there's just far too much that has be learnt, organised and implemented before you can come out and say what is happening.
he's doing exactly what has to be done now. hold them to the expectation and target, monitor the situation, and start making the moves you need to based on what you know. implement change when you want the change to occur based on what you know. not what the media or supporters want.
