Last week I was posting on several threads criticising Bobby, the players etc.. & you sent me a prviate message entitled “I agree”
Now it was a private message so I aint gonna divulge exactly what you said in it but for the benefit of others you criticised Whelan for appointing Bobby in the first place, Bobby for the poor football he is producing, Bobby for his post match comments, Bobby for dishing up the same excuses for defeats week after week, half hoping we got battered by Everton so you could come on here & “hammer” Whelan & Bobby, said Bobby was deluded, and so on & so forth
yet now you start this thread having a go at people for doing the very same thing you yourself did only last week & was threatening to do this week
The moral of this story is don’t be such a freakin hypocrite
I wasn’t going to bother posting today, as the site has been besieged by absolute tools, but after that ‘attack’ on myself, I really don’t have a choice.
Yes Tyldesley, I criticized Roberto to you, privately. That being the point. I did it in PRIVATE, rather than spout off to all and sundry on here and actually revelling in it, feeling proud when other people pat me on the back in agreement. I despair of the mentality. Ok, I still think the appointment of Martinez was all about sentiment, rather than sense. Do you think Whelan would have offered him the job, if it were not for the history? Not a chance.
I also do think that Roberto doesn’t help himself with his post match interviews. I think he’s too honest, and says too much. As for our style of play, I only think that Roberto is doing the same as other managers, by playing 4-5-1. And I only think he’s deluded in the fact that some of the players keep getting another ‘crack’ yet keep on letting him down. (I.E. Koumas) I think that he has the right idea about the football he wants us to play, but he’s having to cut out the rubbish from our squad. I mean, what exactly is the point of Bouazan? He has never played a game since he arrived. Surely some mutual termination could be agreed?
But I don’t think there is a manager about who is not worthy of criticism. I know Ferguson get’s slated by some, and I bet Ancelloti had some stick last night, after Chelsea drew with Hull.
Yes, my main criticism was of Whelan, and how he does certain things. I am most definitely not the only one, am I? I wasn’t actually hoping we got ‘battered by Everton’, what I meant was, it would have been typical of us to put in the best performance of the season, and then for them to use that as an excuse not to buy anybody in the window. As it happens, I thought we played very well, but just lacked that finishing touch. I also think that we’ve done very well to sign Moses, and perhaps Moreno will be a revelation.
The reason for my postings last night, was that I actually came on here last night and COULD NOT BELIEVE some of the comments. Some were actually revealling that they are really rugby fans and proclaiming “It’s a rugby town”. Thankfully, I think they have been banned. There were people registering last night just to have a pop at Latics,l and like I say, ‘revel’ in it.
My point is that it is doing nobody any good at all, all this “he must go”, type of talk. Yes, that was shocking last night. And yes, I’m not defending any of the players any more. But I don’t know who people think we can magically bring in instead of Roberto, who will change things. We’ve played that card with Bruce, the quick fix ‘come and save us’ one, and it knocked us back a year, as he brought in some absolutely shyte players, a squad full of deadwood.
“yet now you start this thread having a go at people for doing the very same thing you yourself did only last week & was threatening to do this week”
You see, you are wrong. I didn’t go out and share it with everybody. My criticism, and the people I HAVE a problem with, are not Whelan, Martinez, or the players. But our so-called ‘Fans’. The vitriol that has been spouted after last night has totally shocked me. I knew people wouldn’t be happy, but the showing of true colours as soon as we look like having a bit of a bad run has, frankly, amazed me. We all knew that a good few ‘egg-chasers’ had jumped on our bandwagon, the chance to see ‘Stevie G’ and ‘Man Yoo’ was just too tempting. But as soon as things go a bit wrong, they jump ship. All us proper fans know the real score. We know hand on heart that we have a ‘hardcore’ of only a few thousand. I was only looking this morning, but since November, the HOME support has declined by about 5,000 fans. I also find it rather convenient that the revelations on the board last night come when the Rugby season has just started again. There is no doubt that they feel more confident this season, and I am thinking that some of the floating ‘fans’ have chosen their side. Well I just hope they don’t come back.
So before you go having a go at me personally, will you actually think to youself, as to what good can come out of constantly bemoaning Martinez, and calling for his head? Change the bloody record. I’m not saying I haven’t moaned myself, I have, but frankly, I’ve seen the wood for the trees, and know that Roberto is having to sort out the mess, before he can do his own thing. If you don’t like it…….don’t go.
Personally, I think JAYT should ‘suspend’ the messageboard for a bit, because it’s doing nobody any good at all.
