coleman needs to do us all a favour and resign !!

'It doesn't feel like our club anymore!'

This is a common theme voiced by many fans and for me, I feel it too. Posts on the forum have always focussed upon the game of football and still do, but fans feeling detached from the club and voicing their concerns in this way is new and possibly the real threat and reason why support is dropping off. The quality of football or inconsistent performances don't contribute towards fans feeling like this - so what does?

Almost complete team of new faces.
Significant number of these having ex-Accrington links.
Perception amongst many fans of favouritism, unhealthy cohesiveness.
Loss of respected Dale players including Jones and the cloud under which he left.
Discipline of some players on the pitch.
Discipline and professionalism of Coleman and Bell - willing to argue the toss with frustrated fans from the dugout and gesture that they should come down and do better!
Resulting 'Us and Them' feeling between management/team and fans.
Apathy around promoting the club
Lack of awareness and abilty by the club to repair relationship with fans.

for me, we need to stop looking at the quality of football as being the reason for discontent and instead look at the new dynamics of the club and how the players and management can build a better rapport with the fans?

Premature Ejectulation!!

It's simple we wouldn't have been in this state if we had kept with Eyre and Bunn. Things wouldn't have been fantastic but we'd have been out of the bottom four! Can the 'Eyre Out Brigade' enlighten me on what the solution is now?
