Where to start? Mike Ashley was absolutely clueless. We had four(!) managers, including two messiah's and a very naughty boy in Joey Barton.
On the pitch, our nadir was the 1-5 home defeat dished out by Liverpool that finally convinced Shay Given the club was beyond saving. Off the pitch the club appeared rudderless and every decision taken was based on an extreme short-term policy. A case in point being Joe F****** Kinnear (the very poor man's Harry Redknapp) an ex-Wimbledon manager with a dicky heart who hadn't worked for five years. We also sold our best players and replaced them with inferior, cheaper models to balance the books. In the end, we went down with barely a whimper.

Liverpool scored eight goals in their two games against us but they could have had at least 20.
