It's not so much the dreadful performances on the pitch as the lingering dreadful moans of the betrayed so called supporter that might make you want to chuck it all in. If you want to turn your back on your club, your team, your passion, and presumably this forum, just get on with it. Stop wallowing. The facts as they are speak for themselves. They are not going to change. If for some reason you can't live with it, move on. God knows why there's such a fuss. By the time DW was sacked there was practically nothing left on the pitch that equated to these mythical values that some seem to think were being held dear. Scant youth (of our own), scant attractive football, scant hope. Oh the irony escaping from the wringing hands of those who labelled me not to be a true, a proper supporter. Well I will continue to be at The Well. Will you? Once you have overcome your deemed humiliation, you will. And now there's the prospect of being able to sit at the match, with the hope of watching a much better “product”, amongst those who support the team through thick and thin irrespective of what happens before and after the game. We probably won't get it, but we can hope. Those who still commit are the true supporters. And (don't tell him cos he knows I'm pathetic) also there are those like Whitey, poking their green shoots through a presently bleak landscape, eagerly leaning themselves to the direction from which they perceive our next manager will come. Enthusiastic. Still hopeful. True supporters. Onwards and upwards.
Haven't seen much support from you recently. I will still definitely be going away from home next year. Unless things show sone sign of changing I don't feel the need to contribute to the next managers retirement slush fund via a season ticket.
You make a cracking point but I have to hold my hands up and admit I haven't got your loyalty but as Arny says now we've made the change " I'LL BE BACK"
A reasonable post. But let's face it, the DW tenure isn't unique in engendering feelings of apathy and many have dropped by the wayside already.
Wilson had us at a league position way below where we should be based on both budgets and crowds. He was on course to beat our worst ever sequence of away results. He played many players out of position. We've not been entertained in a win for three months. His tactics are past it and defense minded. He showed too much respect to the oppositions as if we were playing Real Madrid. We didn't know how to win from behind. He rarely changed tactics as he liked his subs being like for like. He stands by certain garbage players and yet at the same time others he brought in are never seen again. He was allowed to pay off multiple expensive signings. He prefered loaning kids off other sides and selling our own kids. If any other manager did the above there wouldn't be so much uproar. The fantastic season he gave us nearly two decades ago has gave him more breathing space than any other guy in charge would have got.
Regardless of manager what you've just written at the start means we were right to get relegated given our comparative poverty
