I'm not saying the injures have had no effect, but a statement like this is exactly why two more years of shanny are a death sentence for the team. Because he says this every. Single. Year. While the season is slipping away, and it places the blame on uncontrollables. It's the opposite of leadership.
The problem isn't that shanny is wrong. The problem is that the excuses are self defeating. They were last year. And will be next year.
