At least if we were in a European league we would have a relegation battle and we would maybe even get relegated until we played teams of equivalent suckiness. Instead we just have year after year of clearly not being good enough to make the playoffs let alone getting near the top sides. It's very hard to feel enthusiasm for the team or games when there's so clearly nothing to play for, other than #avoidthespoon vs CCM year after year.
Rudan hasn't helped but the issue is with the club as a whole. Suckiness has just become part of our organisational culture.
