Think they're contempt with half arsed performances despite their wages being 189% of our turnover

because I don't believe they have the club in their heart (like us supporters) however they do have their £25k+ weekly pay packets to pick up regardless of the result.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but i's probably not far off the mark.

Southampton home 3-0
Stoke away 0-0
West Ham UTD away 2-0
Norwich Away 0-0
Newcastle Home 1-2
Aston Villa Away 2-0
Everton Home 0-0

Are basic salaries too big and win bonuses too small?
Are the massive cuts to pay for relegation?

Not enough experience in our squad form the start.

2 gritty blood and guts winners would have kept us up.

We are a team full of kids, Bellamy is the most experienced but only plays 60 minutes a month. Medel hardly speaks English, Whitts has never been a leader, Hudson has hardly played and along with Cowie isn't really good enough for this level, Marshall has been the only one to earn his pay. There's no leaders or know-how out there - having a 22-year old captain says it all.

Ken Jones is experienced, but isn't going to inspire anyone.
