That's the main point IMHO.
All those years of bacon overachieving, (to the point of performing miracles it now seems) has left them pretty rudderless, and it's panic as they realise the problem wasn't Moyes.
There's been no investment in the future at all, as bacon said all was well.
I think its just a shame it's only their rudder that's gone, and there's not a great big hole in the hull.
YET
We can only hope

The Glazers seem to have been essentially hands-off owners, sitting back and enjoying the money-making machine they purchased.
Gill, and probably Woodward, have been good at the commercial side, signing the image rights deals in Asia etc., like our Tom does.
Ferguson meanwhile ran the football side and it all went through him. There was no long term planning, no world-wide vision or even director of football like Ferran and Txiiki provide, no plan for their academy, etc., just Fergie.
Take him away and Woodward is out of his depth, Moyes and LVG (who today said he left the signing of players to Our Ed), are sticking plasters on the first team squad season-by-season.
In business terms, they have a poor product, which is bad but repairable, and no Governance or Management Vision. The contrast with what ADUG have done for us is stark.
They don't seem to have realised this point yet, and it is that which makes me optimistic that we will stay ahead of them for years.
Perhaps they are the footballing equivalent of Tesco, who also seem to be in a minor quandary at the moment, after riding roughshod over everybody around them for quite some time..
Both evil empires in the shit at once.

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

I suppose that they're going to start winning sometime then we can go back to worshipping at the feet of Van Hire. Fun whilst it lasts though

a 0-0 draw would be another record for Burnley broken in the PL
