It's a chant that's rung around Premier League stadiums for as long as many footie fans can remember, though soon it may not ring so true. An uncharacteristic mid-season slump is threatening to bench the AFC Richmond captain, or even to be his undeservedly dour swan song.

While its season is already mired in relegation-ready mediocrity on the pitch, much of the media attention around AFC Richmond has shifted to the club’s behind-the-scenes machinations, which at times seems more befitting of paparazzi car-chasers than any person attempting to cover professional sport.

Beleaguered AFC Richmond pulled off its first win under misfit American manager Ted Lasso on Saturday. Yet the manner of its reinvigorating comeback against Watford, including the bizarre benching of star striker Jamie Tartt, offered more questions than answers about the Greyhounds' prospects under its unlikely new gaffer.

Historic Nelson Road stadium in South London’s Richmond-upon-Thames borough has been home to AFC Richmond’s Greyhounds for well over a century. For generations, Richmond faithful have packed the supporters stands at “The Dogtrack” to cheer for their neighborhood team.
