Not enough options. Because its all 3. Lets start at the top.
Riddler has done nothing and said nothing about the current situation and has allowed this to happen. Mr Hemming has failed to back AN and that is showing. The training ground is where it all started to go wrong. Lying to the fans, using them to get houses and now we not getting the new training ground. Fuck Euxton, its not helped its former owners. It’s not premier league standard, no promised covered pitch, no extra pitches, to far away from the ground. Its like getting a box of Thortons chocolates only to open them and find Poundland ones. Look simular, but smaller and poor quality.
AN - his tactics have been strange, we are negative, lose confidence, use the keeper to much, hoof it, players seem bunches together, out of position, seem unaware of where the opposition players are. His subs are baffling, we defend defeats and he clearly not motivating the players. Yes not backed well enough, but on paper these lads should be able to win games.
Players - we have a big 4, why? They no bigger than any other player. But calling them the big 4 was wrong. personally if they don’t want to sign drop them, send them packing, because at the moment the other lads are looking on and may get ideas. No player is bigger than the club. Would like then to stay, but not hold the club to ransom. Also they hardly performing, if any club is watching them, they will be taking note of whats going on. As for the team as a whole. Loses confidence to easily, seem to be lost, making to many mistakes, don’t seem to be gelled. Don’t seem interested in playing for AN or PNE. I would like 1 player to stand up and come out and give us all a honest accessment, tell us what is going on. No forced media crap from the club, a full no holes barred statement, even if it is in the form of a leaked statement to the press. The players could unlock this sorry mess.
The club - from media to customer service the whole relationship with the fans is broken. No communication, no interest nothing. Why are we not trying to sell club merchadice? Why are they not trying to sell ifollow. A losy same post different team on twitter is not going to work. They should be constantly interacting with fans, getting them involved, keeping interest going. They done nothing to stop the negativity growing. A clear out is needed, fresh ideas used.
Fans - Well a lot of negativity (yes from me). Lack of interest. There still to many people mainly on twitter posting fake in the know. Its not helping the club. But the club has not done anything apart from a poxy attitude riddled statement. Only thing is, we will still be here long after the above has moved on, but the club shouldn’t take that for granted. PNE may always be in our hearts but attending Deepdale may not, you end up with fans just checking results, listening to the radio, making no effort to go on game, some may choose one or 2 games, because the club has not engaged with them at times when games are on, not done anything to keep interest going.
so answer to op, is all and it needs addressing starting at the top, either Sack Neil or back him properly, put deadlines in on contracts, if not signed, sell and make sure the manager get 100% of the finds, Manager needs to up his game reignite his passion or resign. Players that don’t want to be here own up, those that do stand up and be counted.
Edit we missing the PSG a group to hold the club to account on the fans behalf.
