Tranmere were starting to pick up points. It would have been either us or AFC that they overtook.
BCS’ claim is fair, because looking at the final games before lockdown it was a serious concern that we would be caught.
Of course we could have. BCS claimed we stayed up because of that, we don't know that for a fact
Tranmere's 3 wins came against bottom half teams, their final 5 games were against play off chasing sides. They also had games against ourselves and AFC which could have left them even further behind? We don't know
What we do know is we brought in an inexperienced manager who improved our results, including getting results against strong teams and that improvement meant we stayed in the division - despite the questionable conclusion. We also then improved again the next year, and then built a squad that also got promoted.
I can very much envisage many of our fans making comparisons to the failed Micciche appointment but ignoring or disregarding the successful Russ appointment
