This bashing was in the wind for a while. If it was my money, I'd have to move on from Herbert. There is no other option, as there's no way the 5 to 10 thousand who used to go to Nix games, are going to ever turnup again, until Herbert goes. It is time for change now, as the season is gone.
I would also pray there's some technically capable midfield player somewhere in the world who could come in, and spend that money asap. Otherwise this is going to get really messy. Smith and Lia just aren't good enough, and that's where the on field problems start. However clearly there are major off field issues. I mean just giving up is not part of this club's culture. Herbert's post match comments are dillusional. He has lost the dressing room.
