Optimistic Nut Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Still no reply then Of course not. why did you delete the last post you made ? Did you realise how childish it was [again] ? I decided you're not worth the time of day. You can't answer a straight-forward question without bringing up a load of other bollocks, and that's about it. ditto Except, I've seen a lot more than you.....including therefore recognising what makes a good board. As for this thread, the crowd was the lowest for a canny few years. Doing everything right are they ? No they certainly are not. But it's also not their fault entirely for this, as we were on the slippery slope long before Ashley came in. Well mate, it would seem yesterday, a few thousand of our own fans - who should know differently - don't find the club as attractive as it was a year ago Surely not ? It was only 1000 fewer than the lowest we had under Shepherd in his last season...and there were a lot less away fans too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just to do with last season though. As I've said we've been on the slippery slope for four years or so now. I feel more optimistic than I have though since SBR was in charge. I know that is for certain. As I feel the board have appointed the right man. There are also other factors as well such as the economic situation at the moment. But it certainly isn't all down to Mike Ashley that's for certain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one doesn't get an answer, ever. I thought the answer to that one was along the lines of "people moan when we spend money on trophy signings then moan when we just brought in Bowyer, they don't know what they want".

I understand what you say, but with a week to go to the deadline, its clear where our weakness is and I think they should be pulling out all the stops to fill it, go for the european positions at least and if it costs money above budget so be it.

Well, if you look through the names and forget the bollocks spouted about last minute signings, you will find the majority of them were in fact bought before the season started, yes.
