YOUR chief sports reporter Chris Phillips has once again hit the nail on the head, with his passionate assessment as a true supporter of the club, and not just as a local reporter, of why our beloved local football club has got itself into such a mess, that barring miracles, will find itself relegated and playing its football in the National League next season.

I can’t disagree with any of his thoughts on the reasons, but ultimately the buck has to stop with the chairman.

Ron Martin has tried and failed to bring in a successful manager to a team that only three to four seasons ago narrowly missed out on promotion to the Championship.

I’m not suggesting that he wanted unsuccessful managers’, but he’s the one who selects and employs them.
