Hope for the best alright, didn't Ernie say judge me after 3 seasons he's signed or resigned all these players and nothing has really changed. Are we now seeing signs why the Victory and the Mob in Hong Kong said goodbye to Ernie but as Doloras said there is always Hope

we are so much better than when we had Ricki in charge (overall).  Yes there is problems but the quality of the league has improved so much that if we put any Ricki team (apart from that one season) we would be lower than what we are now.

We are, while i like Ernie some of you really do have a blinkered view and seemingly want to just pass over some of this seasons shocking results and last seasons end of season fail. Had Ricky been in charge at both those times im bloody sure some of you would be screaming how bad things are. Just find it strange that Ernie seems to get away without much being said while people still try and belittle what Ricky acheived.

I agree that some people are very reductive when talking about Ricki's achievements; but I also think that people are more realistic about our financial position and position in the league now. For one, most of us are just happy to still have a club. Also, we did very well last year (until we didn't..) so that has given him some leeway.

For me, it's understandable that we have faltered because our best attacking player in Burns left, Krishna is injured and Sarpong hasn't fired. Not to mention our inexperienced backline - any other team in the league would've struggled in these circumstances. Some positives have come out of it, however, specifically Dylan Fox stepping up and Danaskos/Gulley looking like they could be long term solutions to our full-back problems. (though I'm not entirely convinced by them quite yet)
