That's all well and good but please tell me why everyone here seems to be so stunned that our results haven't improved from last year? Have a look at our player gains and losses since June last year as a starting point.
The Club was very much upfront and transparent, and spelled it out to everyone last year that due to circumstances, this year would effectively a write-off, albeit for the greater good of this clubs future. And this was even before we lost Klemmer!
I think all this agony amongst the Kennel is very much self-inflicted. The warning was issued last year, and was seemingly ignored. And even after losing a player as vital as Klemmer, it was met with a smugness from members here that he'd be easily replaced, some even going as far as saying that his work was detrimental to our team which was flat out laughable, yet a view accepted by a lot of members here.
