My thoughts on Luke Steele

Ooooh....ouch....

 

The thing that you must first understand is that supporters support the club, and not the individual players who represent the club. If you have not bought a season ticket for 12 years, so the majority of the time that you have not bought a season ticket, you had a different reason for not doing so, other than the fact that Luke Steele was or was not playing in goal. You seem to believe that the act of threatening not to buy will influence the club's decision in some way. It will not, because the management of the club know that players come and go, but that the club must go on. The club can only survive and thrive if supporters buy their season tickets as an act of faith in the future. The club cannot guarantee that the future will always be rosy, and for most of the time we know when we buy that we are in for a season of highs and lows, but mainly lows. But we also know that, because there is a link between how much the club can afford to spend on transfer fees and player wages and the amount of support that they can generate, the more of us who have that faith in the club, and who buy our tickets before the season, the more the club can be confident in having the funds in place to make those investments in better players before the season starts, which surely is the best time. The alternative is to punish the club by refusing to commit or by staying away. I have never understood this stance from supporters who say that they care what happens to the club. Surely they must see that by punishing the club, they punish themselves.

 

Cracking Post and spot on : stay away for a "reason " - mostly a load of b**llocks ( been skint,work shifts and illness excepted ) = loss of revenue - loss of fan numbers and more keyboard tappers
I hope/believe Luke will stay and hopefully have Sean St Ledger lodging with him - we cant get Mcshane so a fellow R I international on a freebie will do for me.

 

Rub it better.

Well...That's not tenuous...

 

After thinking about it for more than a few seconds and reading it again, it is a bit. Missed the "what we are trying to do at this time from a financial point of view." I thought they were still paying daft wages, Luke Steele could have been their next David James.
