    Both fan A and fan B are totally mis-understanding what happened in 01/17.

    And to prevent ploughing the same same furrow - I'll not go through it all again here - only to say, if there was any doubt that any of the players up for grabs (which was basically all of the first team) was not going to re-sign then they should have been sold in January eg Watkins, Scowen etc etc.

    A damage limiting exercise.

    Which is going to be repeated down the line.

    Scary thing is:
    Fan A will think it's something to do with selling players at a bad time
    Fan B will accept it again eg - egg - cap - under

    You say : "'Ere thrice the sun done salutation to the dawn"
    And you claim these words as your own
    But I've read well, and I've heard them said
    A hundred times (maybe less, maybe more)
    If you must write prose/poems
    The words you use should be your own
    Don't plagiarise or take "on loan"
    'Cause there's always someone, somewhere
    With a big nose, who knows
    And who trips you up and laughs
    When you fall
    Who'll trip you up and laugh
    When you fall

    I still don't understand how anyone can be happy with us selling Hourihane, Bree & Winnall when we don't know what fees we got.

    That may not be the clubs fault as it may be down to the buyer but it makes no sense to me how anyone can say 'the club were right to sell them' when we don't know what we got.

    And can we have less of this 'the same ones who said we should've sold Hourihane for £300k in League one say we shouldn't have sold him in January'.

    Simply untrue, I've always been one of his biggest fans, believed he could play in a 2, in fact I'd seen it against Preston even though the majority of the fan base had bought into Johnson's ******** that he could only play in a 3 & I would not have sold him at any point.

    And 'the same ones who say we should've kept Winnall, Bree & Hourihane for a play off push would be the ones moaning if we didn't make it'. Again completely untrue. It was a one off relative gamble worth taking in my opinion after the Mawson & Stones fees & games at Wembley.

    In any other season we probably would've needed the money & I'd have been behind selling to balance the books but that wasn't the case this season.

    As a fan you have to dream. I saw us beat Chelsea & Liverpool, I saw a bang average manager in Flitcroft somehow get Dawson, Wiseman, Done & co to come up with promotion form for 4 months to keep us up. The side we had at the start of January odds on getting in the play offs would've been better than any of them upsets.

    I feel the clubs lost out on a lot of revenue for next season with how the seasons finished up. The whole mood of the fan base has changed, I speak to fellow Reds & virtually everyone feels the end of the season was the Wednesday game. How many won't renew because of a perceived lack of ambition?

    And I'm a massive Patrick Cryne fan, overall he's been incredible for the club but I think he or the board making decisions for him got January wrong.
