Fair dos.
I believe some managers have their level and struggle to do anything higher up and I think Simpson may be one of those. You see it with managers who can manage in the championship but get found out in the premier league.

In the real world I’d be changing the manager this summer.

Constant blame game to everyone else, rarely takes any accountability, wouldn't trust him with his record of signing players with the overhaul this summer.

This is a hypothetical question as I don't believe it's likely. However, if Simpson wins promotion again next season would you trust him in Division Three after the way he's handled himself this season? If he took us up next year, I`d want him to do well with another shot in L1, but given just how bad it`s been, I wouldn`t be confident. This is why I think it`s important to move on NOW. If we can get out of L2 with a different manager, then we`ll have a better chance of staying in L1, as the playing side, and staff, would have had a year together, and would hopefully be strengthened over next summer. Letting Simpson stay in charge next season, even if he takes us up, we could be in for a repeat of what we`ve just seen, and are bottom right from the start of the season, and only make a change after 8-10 games or so. Then we`ve got to get the new man in, assess the squad, and get through to the next transfer window, before he gets a chance to bring in his own players. So for the purpose of continuity, and giving someone a long term goal of getting into L1, and staying there, I`d sooner trust someone else. All hypothetical of course.

We won't finish it the top 10 next season unless there are serious changes made.
You can spunk as much as you want on transfers, but if the foundations and infrastructure of the playing side are not in place then you are wasting your time.
Interesting he is already trotting out the "mid table budget" mantra. Is this a ploy to play down the expectations?

So what is this mid table budget then? Is that cash available for transfer fees? Cash for fees and wages for new players? Budgeted total for overall wages for season?
I'm really struggling with why he thought it was the right thing to say at that moment, having endured that season, particularly what we have been served up at BP I can't believe that is what anyone wanted to hear.
Even if that is what it is going to be, (although I think it will be better than that) surely you spin it in a positive way without saying your getting mediocrity next season.
What's the point in all the investment in other areas if we are not striving to get a better return on it in a higher league? Just doesn't add up and I think he's completely mis read the room on what the supporters want to hear.

We could wait and see. The retained list will be a huge message. Especially if any loan players are offered contracts and if any players under contract are told to look elsewhere.
The more that go, the better the budget. People getting very hot under the collar about things that haven't happened

Same applies to some of the contracted players too.

Football has changed over the last decade. A lot of players require a manager/coach who inspires them, to run through a brick wall, to fear letting the man down, to have a good personality, to create a team spirit, a togetherness, when the chips are down, them against us and an eye for a player who not only serves you well but knowing when to move them on at a healthy profit because you have made them a better player in a successful team. Is this relative to today’s Simpson ? Unfortunately I think not

Is this relative to today’s Simpson ? Unfortunately I think not Its only changed in the last decade because the game is full of spoilt brats and cheats, similar to society in general. A very average footballer can become a multi millionaire before he is 25, although not relative to us the point still remains. Footballers want everything on a plate then chuck the towel in at the first opportunity. A sad indictment of the world we live in today.

Just doesn't add up and I think he's completely mis read the room on what the supporters want to hear. Not for the first time this season he has come out with stuff that would of been better unsaid or left for a later date, just saying we will be sensible with the budget we have, would have sufficed, he surely must know there are alot of us who are well pissed off given what has taken place this season. The psychology has all appeared wrong, we have had too many poor players that dont have the will to win. He has fallen out with a number of players it would seem, there has been quite a few backroom changes that pose the question, what is going on at BP. New training facilities should make a big difference but not if our methods are old school and we dont have the right type of players in, recruitment has been dire, more questions there as to why this has been the case, our net has to far wider and we should be getting players from the Northeast and Scotland that are more comfortable in the North of England and dont long to head back down south after a couple of days. There is surely a huge pool of players in the North of the country that we can recruit from that is not soley confined to Yorkshire!

I have lost all faith in Simpson and regardless of his brilliant record previously, this season has been one of the worst of my 50 years following the blues. Not as bad as the late 80s or Collins era, but very poor. We may have improved facilities next season, but I have no faith in Simpson and the worry is the Yanks may react too late and we will be in the conference. A bit doom and gloom I admit, but it it is my view. Sack Simmo asap and all the background staff.

Simmo obviously thinks he can turn things round and I pray he's right because it appears the Piataks will keep him on. Looking at him in his interviews though he has aged a lot since last season. Given he's financially secure there must come a point when he thinks "stuff it" I can't be bothered with this anymore.
