As long as you have a coherrent argument to back your fantasies up then that’s fine. How exactly do you expect us to be doing anything other than struggling then?
Lowest gates in the Premiership, lowest income in the Premiership, highest wages as a percentage of turnover in the Premiership, debt ridden (albeit mostly to Dave Whelan with no security on his loans), no new potential investors because we are an awful business prospect for anyone and to top it all off we have some of the most deluded fans with unrealistic aspirations in the league as well!
It’s all very well having aspirations but they have to be realistic. I aspire to be an amozonian goddess with thighs that could open a walnut but my problem is I have testicles. It’s an aspiration but without loads of money I ain’t going to get there….similar to the football club really ;) Any donations greatly appreciated.
Note: The amazonian bit might be a lie and any donations received may well be spent in the pub and not necessarily getting rid of my widgie!
What was our average attendance say 20 years ago ? I think you will find that there has been a very big upward curve. ie From last season in Championship to first season in Prem it doubled ! Even now that those figures are falling rapidly they are still a damn sight bigger than 20 years ago so therefore progression has been made ! Now since our overstayed welcome in the Prem, do you not think that we could have maybe improved the squad a tad and used some of the monies made from the good players we found and shipped out at massive profits ! Speculate to accumulate and all that. If Uncle Dave doesn’t have his pipe dream any more then how come he doesn’t admit it and say that we are punching above our weight ? As I see it Uncle Dave is recouping his loses ( And why not ) but giving the impression that we are moving forward ( Martinez sound bites ) when in fact we are regressing at a rate of knots and now the fans are wising up and voting with their feet ! Too many folk on here feel that as a club we owe Bob and that maybe Bob owes us, well in football there is no room for sentimentality and I hate to admit it but Bob is the only one punching above his weight and he is dragging us down with him ! There are far worse squads than us in the Prem and there have been in previous seasons. These worse squads have bettered us on numerous occasions both on the pitch and in the league, and so that tells me there is a problem and as a paying customer ( season ticket holder ) I can see the short comings week in week out but Bob perseveres and so does Uncle Dave. I just find it a shame that we were given the chance that many would just love to get and we didn’t improve ! It could have been done gradually in my opinion but hey we all have different thoughts and aspirations ! Life would be dull if we all shared the same views !
