So how many of you McGhee out people were supporting Albion when we were half an hour from going out of the league. Not many judging by your reactions. People forget how far we have come in the last nine years and if I had been told then of the seasons we would have had at Withdean I would not have believed it.
Why then can nobody accept that we were always going to struggle in this league. We just stayed up last season thanks to a brilliant effort but then lost Virgs and Harding. We have hardly spent any of that money due to Falmer and it is difficullt to compete in this league, as Crewe are finding too, when your budget is small.
So to everybody complaining about trips to Carlisle and Chesterfield. Just remember how close we came to trips to Southport and Forest Green (or their 1997 equivalents) or to going out of business and be glad that we are much better off now than we were in those days.
Next season, I believe that we will be challenging again in League One with Mark McGhee as manager. Until then back the team and manager because otherwise we might as well give up now!
