How exciting is this pre season?

GS inspire me for gods sake.

 

All will change in the next 10 days I would imagine, now pre-season is officially starting

 

I'm excited. I spent half an hour this morning boring Mrs Burgundy Red (oo-er) with the ins and outs (oo-er) so far until she wandered off with a glazed look.

Maybe I'm easily pleased but in a short space of time AR, GS and PC have turned us around from a financial disaster area mired in Division 3 to a Championship team, with all the extra income that involves. I think we'll try and consolidate safely using loan players which means our short-to-medium-term future is likely to be unspectacular but at least we'll have one, which is more than we'd have without GS and in particular PC. With the ways things have gone at iSoft PC's resolve to make the club self-sufficient is going to be stronger than ever and there is not an endless supply of knights in shining armour waiting to save us from our own mistakes.

So I'll do what I used to do when I was a lad watching from the Brewery stand: I'll get excited by each new signing, regardless of what other people say about him, and I'll look forward to each game with the kind of mindless optimism that people like me reserve for supporting clubs like Barnsley.

 

Nicely put.

 

good but "our own mistakes"

surely it was John Dennis, Parkin Spackman et al that made the mistakes?</p>

I don't remember my involvement nor you own in fact.</p>

It will be a huge mistake by Richtea, Gordy &amp; PC not to strengthen or even replace what we have recently lost prior to august as we will find &quot;ourselves&quot; back in the proverbial mire that is League One before you can say box office.</p>

 

RE: good but "our own mistakes"

We certainly encouraged them to spend knowing that it may be beyond the long-term means of the club, as some people are trying to do now. I didn't hear many people saying, "No, Mr Dennis, don't spend money on Georgi Hristov as we might end up in Administration". We had a chance and we risked too much for it. Our levels of expectation, as supporters, were there for all to see and it was a mistake in retrospect. To repeat that mistake despite that experience would be folly.

 

Aye, it was all our fault.

What a set of 'orrible bleeders we are. Turning up, paying our money, cheering the lads on. We're beyond contempt.

 

Honestly, Jay, if that's the way you interpret my post

Then there seems little point talking to you. I'm not saying we're to blame but it was a mistake the club made and I for one don't want to encourage them to make it again. But you go ahead.

 

erm

lighten up

 

OK

Sulk over.
