Phil what do you expect?
‘We’ll be lucky to scrape 15th or 16th again. If I were you I wouldn’t bother coming to watch us or, if you’re a player, sign for us.’
Johnny, did you actually read the article ? He says top half, I say deluded ! :huh: Can I not comment on his delusions of grandeur or what !! I actually think that we might even go down this season and if so then so be it but he needs to wind his neck in the old fool ![/quote]
Yes you can comment on it, as can I. If he was talking to you in the Brick then yes, if he was going on about top half, you’d be well within your rights to laugh at him and call him delusional.But he’s not. He’s speaking to the national press, and if he’s wanting to attract fans, players and investors, he’s hardly likely to make the club sound ambitionless, broke and a certainty to finish in obscurity somewhere just above the relegation places.[/quote]
Do you honestly believe that fans, players and investors alike will take notice of his little pipe dreams ? He has been repeating the same mantra for the last 8 years and I don’t see a rush from any of the above do you ! If he wants his dreams to come to fruition then he must put his money where his mouth is or simply keep quiet ! What makes me laugh is that I like you fully expect the bottom 5 finish yet the drummer hating Roses fan seems to think it’s just me who is the realist ![/quote]
Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. But next time the press come knocking and want Mr Sound-Bite to give them a quote or two, they’d sure as hell notice if he was totally frank and talked the club down.I don’t think his dream is to get the club into the top ten. His dream was the Premier League and being able to get himself seen and heard in the national press on a daily basis.
They’ve now got a younger and more dynamic team behind the scenes and I think they are going in the right direction in terms of attracting investment and sponsors in. The community programmes are also streets ahead of what they used to be, so even though this ‘bigging the club up’ isn’t dragging punters in through the turnstiles, I’m sure it’s adding to the overall impression of a young and progressing football club.
We did finish 10th in first season and he started talking about Europe ! I appreciate that he has financed new training facilities and that the whole dynamic of the club is better than it ever was but I also know that we have come as far as we can and I think the majority of fans know that too. When the press come a calling he could always just say ” Hey guys lets not get ahead of ourselves here, we are a little club and things are ticking along at our pace here. We are still growing from within and the club as a whole is fairly solvent and for that we must be thankful.I feel that further investment could perhaps take us to another level but for now we are more than happy to survive each season “

I wouldn’t mind us being cheeky and trying to get Scholes or another experienced head on loan.
Did someone say deluded ? :lol:[/quote]
Who do you want us to try for then? Some useless no-mark nobody has heard of or nobody else wants? Squads full of em already.
Go on then, Matt fuckin Busby, let’s hear who YOU would go for.[/quote]
If we are going off your search criteria I would give Superman a run out.

Why not end it with ‘And we can’t thank you enough for letting us play in this league. There’s a collection plate by the door as you leave.’?
That’d really paint the picture of a dynamic club and something people would want to invest in…

One word…Stigma ! In my opinion he should put up or shut up !
