"I hope we get to the bottom of the answer"

It was interesting to read in that article about Saints finances that McManus said he was expecting losses to be higher this/next year due to paying back the covid loans.
If that is the case and they haven't even started paying them back yet then I assume AP has just gone all out to clear them as fast as possible.

I don’t listen to or read a word he says anymore.

Could just be that Saints have paid them off or at least started to pay them this year but won’t appear on the figures until next year? It was said that we aimed to have ours paid off by early 24 but nothing has ever been mentioned since.

Interesting McManus he’s also said that Saints won’t stop spending to the max of the salary cap as it’s a false economy otherwise. They obviously don’t want to risk losing income and supporters for good. If we had any clarity on our financial situation we could at least see if the gamble has paid off for us in cutting back spending on staff/players but we don’t know, for all we know we might not have got any further then Saints in paying them off.

I assume the COVID loan hasn't been paid off because surely Pearson would have announced that to add a bit of cheer 'debts have gone, spending can go back to levels the fans expect'

Eagerly awaiting the season pass brochure to see what crumbs he wants to feed us this time...

"You have failed me for the last time!" - Darth Vader

With two games still to go, this really wasn't the time to open up like this. If another two defeats weren't already certain, they are now. Season ticket holder or not, I won't be attending this week. The club has so much to do to win back the trust and confidence of the fans. Even some of the die hards.

I think I'm probably in a minority on here but I don't have a problem with it.
He's got a point, he's not ready to be a SL head coach and he's been asked to head up the worst side in the league along with all our basket case goings on. If experienced coaches couldn't get a tune out of this lot then why would he be able to?

It's the lack of accountability for me. Most people understand we're lacking in quality, but we still look poorly coached, that's on him.

Also he's gone from throwing his hat in the ring to "nowt to do with me" in about 4 months.

If I was Cartwright I'd be mortified reading that

I think, on balance, he deserves a bit of slack in the circumstances.
Alternatively if he didn’t think he was up to the job but still took it on, then it is hard to sympathise, as he knew, or should have known, the full extent of the situation the club are in.

I admire his honesty in a way, but it further backs up something I already felt, that he doesn't have the leadership skills to be a coach at this level. I know he's been dealt an awful hand, but you get on with it, you use it to galvanise the players you have and get the best out of them. He just looks for excuses and feels sorry for himself, of course that is going to rub off on the playing group.
