Fair enough....have stated before that Dome's accountability for on field performance is limited. But then in your opinion what accountability should the Director of Football i.e. Sean Gill have for the current state of affairs and what, if anything qualifies him for the role?
I have nothing against Gilly personally but I have to agree with this - if we’re unhappy with the coach’s results and the club’s apparent (alleged) unwillingness to do anything about them, then surely DoF is the next throat to choke before the GM?

I also 100% agree with observerfromuh that it’s the club’s job to diagnose the root causes of our failure and come up with a solution, not the supporters’. From my limited understanding of Gilly’s role I’d expect that to be his baby. What I don’t expect is a public execution or that they’ll air their dirty laundry in front of us - we’re their customers not their shareholders, but we can still vote with our feet and our wallets as many are doing so it’s in the club’s interest to give us some glimmer of hope that they have a plan.

“Randomly change stuff and hope for the best” isn’t a plan.
