When all is said and done, it was only the failure to hold onto winning positions in two home games, one from the 97th minute, one from the 73rd minute, that has undone our season. Hold onto those positions and its a semi-final vs ManUtd and eigth place, 4 points off sixth, going into the last 7 games.
The margins between success and failure are painfully small.
Excuse my cynicism, but Jeff Shi's stepping forward seems more than a little opportunistic to me. A populist diversion from the absurd, self-made damage to the club that this January's inaction caused.
We were so close!!
Even with the fiasco of January, Oneil and the players almost conjured up two vital wins, with the smallest squad, and the youngest bench imaginable.
Apparently Steve Cooper is being lined up as possible replacement for Oneil, and ostentatiously attended the match on Saturday.
I know Fosun are in a desperate spot, but surely they understand that the club is in desperate need of a boost now, and a full and public backing
of Oneil, if a more rapid period of decline is not to hit us very soon.
A period of decline that will be their legacy if they fail to act.
