Scapegoat.
Try to progress too much, too soon, by throwing money at it and wonder why it goes wrong. Fans expectations too high and an attitude of we're too good for this league that puts you under pressure immediately.
They're all to blame and I wonder with interest who would dare go there to be the next manager. It will be a brave individual. I don't know why I'm finding myself guessing Barry Ashby, but let's face it, shortlist will definitely be the word.
