I agree, put Stokes on Gardening Leave and let's see what happens.
But remember, if we start playing well and winning games, or even competing, then you should turn your anger onto the players who have let you down all year by deliberately under performing.
The bottom line is that it is they who have chosen to let you down this year. Get it CHOSEN TO LET YOU DOWN.
And why ? Because they don't like the coach ?
Ah yes, but also because they have not the guts to perform out of respect to Seedsie, the supporters, the club, the shirt and their professional pride.
Get real, the players are letting everyone down for their own selfish reasons.
That is totally unacceptable, and should not be forgotten or conveniently excused by simply blaming the coach.
In blaming the coach alone, or by implying their chosen attitude stems from his approach, simply seems a convenient way of excusing the bad attitude of players.
