Re: Chairman Pace

Not sure what he's expected to say. He's hurting just like the rest of us and probably more so given the investors he'll have snapping at his coattails. He is unaware of what has gone wrong on the pitch, otherwise he would have fixed it! They've maintained, publicly, that it's a multi year strategy,...

However the games from the end of October look to be winnable for a while. We're already showing signs in sma...
