Re above. A poisionous couple of players is not a full clear out.
We are also assuming this story is true.
To be honest Steele let in 47 goals in his first 17 league games for Southend and I dont think that Ramsey ever picked up a win bonus at Southend , they might of had experience at other clubs but that seemed to go when playing for Southend .Eric Steele had decent credentials- held the Peterborough record for consecutive apperances, won 5 promotions with various clubs..
Chris Ramsey also had decent experience- won back to back promotions at Swindon before coming here and played in an FA Cup final.
Richard Young was crap to be fair.
sometimes some managers are just crap.

Absolutely, I thought I made this quite clear.
I would be happy if we started from scratch. I’m not speaking for other people.
It has been said from a number of very reliable sources that there is a few bad apples in the group.
Yes there is a poisonous couple but those have destroyed the morale and mentality of those already here who aren’t poisonous. Some we may never get back to the best they can be.
This is purely my opinion I wouldn’t be overly disappointed if we had a full clear out and started again. You don’t have to agree with it.

Obviously we couldn't afford to pay up 30 players and staff and then sign another 30. So I guess your are saying we just go bust and drop out of the league, like Bury?
A few bad apples doesn't men you take a chain saw to your orchard.
Almost 2 points a game required to make us (possibly) safe on 42. A win every other game? A very tall order.
If there were just a few bad apples why wouldn't you isolate them from the rest of the squad or put them on gardening leave until January?
My master plan is to win the next 5 fixtures ( or at least 4 of them) because lets face it winning those games is the only way to close the gap on them then we would need to win 6(or7) draw 6 lose 6 (or 5) from the last 18 ( doable?) to get to 46 points.
I can't see any other way.
I'd see where we are after those upcoming 5 and who comes and goes in January. Still a big big ask and one hell of a U-turn after the first half of the season.
There's enough players whose contracts run out in June to be able to have a complete refresh of the squad.
We are still John White, Harry Kyprianou, Sam Barrett, Charlie Kelman , Lewis Gard, Joe Shaughnessy and dare I say it Luke Hyam away from having the whole squad fit. Is Theo returning in January?

Don’t be stupid! Why would I want that. I obviously know the situation and know it’s not as easy as that but just do it at the earliest opportunity. I haven’t said staff, it’s purely those on the pitch!
How many supposed "bad apples" are there, then?
