The recruitment process, to land on Appleton, was frankly pathetic after what was said about what they were looking for.
As said they knew he wasn't liked, but maybe they thought he'll do ok and prove people wrong, however it happened he hasn't.
It was always going to kill the feelgood factor somewhat, as losing Critchley to most was a big unexpected negative. We countered that with a largely perceived massive negative and followed with a negative summer and price rises.
From day 1 the atmosphere was way less.
Going back twice now for managers who weren't even managers you'd be exited to go back for.... shows a real lack of ambition and understanding of football plus poor football business knowledge for me. Take about not understanding your audience.
As if you want to sell tickets and excite people, you get someone the fans will be exited about. Its really simple. It would have been really easy to create a buzz and keep it going and it all start with that appointment.
I can forgive the Grayson one although I certainly wouldn't have gone that way, but to make another ex manager blunder so soon after, it's a bit like not learning.
2 oit of 3 really uninspiring choices in there that makes me question what on earth the board were thinking.
The thing is it was completely obvious, speak to anyone on here or any fan and we'd have said get someone new, someone inspiring who fans will get behind, have no history with etc. Or if we do go for someone we know like Evatt, it's all completely positive and would have put bums on seats, would have kept the feelgood factor going, been given time and a fair crack etc.
Anyone who knows bfc fans would know how to fill the stadium better and keep the feelgood factor going.
