The latest league performance seemed to have 'relegation' stamped all over it.
Whilst the debate of 'why' continues, I thought a comparison of what happened in the 60s might be useful - 4 seasons of virtually continuous lower-level performances resulting in relegation in the 5th season.
The primary reason then was poor management at board level, and their policies resulted in the inevitable.
Virtually a deja vu?
