Yes we were, in many respects. As soon as a major challenge arrived we would fold, guaranteed. All the danger signs were well established. The increasingly awful football. The chaos at the back. But at least we still had enough to carry off flat track bully status. Now we can't manage that either, but it's more down to the failure to arrest the steady decline. Kroenke is about the only person who can actually change this. He won't.
