The players have lost confidence in the coaches and themselves. The supporters have lost confidence in the players and the board. The board have lost the ability to communicate with the supporters assuming they ever had it since Leon passed away. The last CEO lost the plot, the new CEO has received a poisoned chalice. The sacking of Jim was inevitable, though sad, because he failed to identiify the problems and act upon them eighteen months ago. Some senior players are failing to assume their responsibilities. Junior players are not getting the opportunities they deserve. The interim head coach has already adopted a bunker mentality...'no, I don't know when Broussow is arriving..'.
In short we have become a laughing stock in the Premiership and in Europe, the white flags have been raised. Commentators and pundits are feeling sorry for us and as Dave Ward said yesterday, Saints are wounded and we went for the jugular. Every team facing Saints for the remainder of the season knows that we are there for the taking, we can be bullied, hit them hard, get into their faces, wind them up and Saints cannot respond. London Irish, Wuss and Sale may not have the 'stars' on parade but some passion and guts can work wonders. Sure, the teams in the bottom two places lost yesterday but both achieved bonus points and Wuss, bless them, put four tries on Sarries at AP.
Oh well, Wandies kick off in four hours, time to get the scarf out !

It’s now a very similar situation, rookie coaches who may one day bear fruit trying to battle it out with a handful of players who are on the decline, being the mouthpiece to the board who lack any understanding of the internal
Workings of a team environment.......businessmen who just happen to be Saints fans muddled into a directors lounge with their initials on a car park grid.
Where are the director at this time of crisis? Where is the Chairman?
Everyone seems o have gon to ground, are they at the club assisting on a daily basis working to this crisis around........I fear not.

Posh Saint, that’s a typical let’s guess answer, where’s your proof that this happened?
Classic board backers reply, because you don’t agree, it suddenly becomes a ridiculous comment?
90% of the board wouldn’t have a clue who Allan Gaffney was and this would have been brokered by the CEO assisted by AD and maybe a few senior players?
How you can use the word ridiculous, with the last three years decision making by the board is laughable.
You should apply for a seat, you would fit in well.
