If Williamson isn't gone tonight then serious questions have to be asked about the new ownership.

Need I go over the stats again...

Absolutely outplayed and out-coached in the playoffs.
3 wins in our last 12 competitive games.
No away wins in 4 competitive games this season.
No away goals scored in 4 competitive games this season.
18th in L2, 4 points off the relegation zone with a game more played than most. Some have 2 games in hand on us.
Potentially 6 points off playoffs and 8 points off top by 5pm and it's only mid-September

Compounded today by losing 3-0 to AFC (the biggest margin of defeat between the two clubs ever), players didn't look up for it whereas theirs did. As nice a guy as he is, he's not adaptable and doesn't seem to have the charisma or character to motivate players to turn up when they need to.

Objectively this squad should be doing better than it is, pretty much unanimously all pundits put us as winning L2 or automatics. Right now we're closer to relegation form than playoffs, and teams that look poor on paper are doing well making it even harder.

We always leave it too late to sack a coach, it's always 2/3/4/5 games too late, and it's come back to bite us - missing out on promotion by a point, or surviving relegation by a point. For once, just cut ties in time for the new CEO and Sweeting to appoint someone new before Doncaster.

No action and it just says to me they're happy to sit back. The only person who has said anything publicly since the takeover is the guy outed as a racist misogynist.

Absolute silence over the Moath situation, just a stealthy "press release" to the local papers and nothing public on the website/social media. Still no update on that despite it being pretty cut and dry. You have to question the owners too if they appointed this guy in the first place, do they not do their own due diligence? Makes you wonder if they're all of a similar "character".

Big week up ahead for the club. Need Moatth out, MW sacked and new CEO in. In whatever order.

I personally won't be going to the Doncaster game unless that is done. What else can we do other than 'vote with our feet'?

There's just a horrible feeling starting to set in around the club at the moment when it should be a time to be optimistic as fans, and that's down to the owners staying quiet when action is needed.

Surprised by 3CR reporting that MW isn't under pressure to get promoted.

What owner comes out and says the team must get promoted? Obviously you want to avoid putting silly amounts of pressure on the team.

Of course the owners expect promotion.

Don’t take so literally what you read or hear. Almost all managers (except Troy Deeney) say stuff to protect their players.

Scott Lindsay is the exact appointment that would fuck up. Just because he got one over us once, we don’t need to grab him immediately.

Give it Lowey

Fuck the tippy tappy football, even Scott Lindsay.

Get someone on that dominates with a purpose. I’m all for a possession based style, but one that is effective at winning all types of games, not just the easy ones.
