Psychology wins as many games as talent. We aren't set up to win games from top to bottom. Mowbray saw it, Pressley saw it, Slade sees it. We are dropping down the leagues because we're a basket case from top to bottom, that ain't going to change any time soon. Culture comes from the top. There is no "finding our level", we are a losing club through and through.
I don't disagree with you, and of course that's why we kept losing when we dropped out the top flight, but nonetheless there comes a level where, whatever our issues with 24/7 revenue
our gates hold up. When we came down from the top flight we were one of many in that category with that fanbase, and even in this division we were only amongst the Sheffield Utds and Bristol Citys. Go down to Division 4 and you know what? For once we might actually be up there with Portsmouth as the big draw.
Now of course the downside of that is that everyone else tries harder against us, but if (and I appreciate it's a big if, as we didn't do it after our to previous relegations!) we got off to a decent start, then we might have a fighting hance of breaking the 'same old Cov' hassle. In fact that's where Wembley could come in handy. If (and yep, big if!) we won then even though it's a nothing cup, it starts to show we can win the important games, gives us something to point to.
So... however disastrous we are, you'd hope that we must be close to a position where our fanbase is big enough to override other factors. If it's not to be, might be better we went down again quickly rather than hanging around, and losing half of them so we end up at par again!
