That's unacceptable for a top tier program. The issue isn't whether we are in a decline - that's a fact - but what to do about it. For those still arguing about the decline part, I think you'll be stuck arguing amongst yourselves while the rest of the world gets on with making the necessary adjustments to the program.
If we weren't in a decline, why would Fulmer want to make chanes?
