Excellent and well though out blog, hopefully my thoughts are of similar vain.

I'm a fan of ITFC but haven't been to a game for several years due to cost and work committments. However, each season starts with the thought that maybe, just maybe, this would be the year to catapult us back to the premiership.

It may well be that is the goal for ME and all involved in the club but it seems that there is just something lacking within the club at the moment, that has been there for a few years.

Before ME we at least were a club that competed for the playoffs but since the money arrived it seems that the people in power think that we're a "big club" who should be in the top division and the Championship is below them.

Hopefully, the results of the last few weeks will be a real wake up call because I'm scared for ITFC. The players need to look inside and decide to actually show up and play, the coaches need to get the basics right in training and then the execs need to formulate a proper strategy rather than just "we want to be in the premiership".

Swansea, and Norwich, can point to the right way to do things at a club without spending huge amounts of cash on players, the whole club works together to get to the same goal. Get the right people coaching and managing the team, get the right players who are committed to the team. Something that I don't believe we have at the moment. Which is such a shame for a once very proud club.

The way I see things, although I could be wrong, in terms of players is that we need a couple of centre halves, who want to defend, a midfielder who can break attacks down and protect the back 4 and a target man up front. All points made before me.

More importantly a pride and determination for all in the club and especially the players, not to let this club become more of a laughing stock.
