Guest thenorthumbrian Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I think they would have to hire quite a work force They have quite a workforce, and a few useful fools who will defend them no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Not really, I'm just not as militant as the majority appear to be, I think they've done good and bad things - but the majority of the bad things have been superficial yet emotive, while a lot of their positive decisions have been fundamental or structural which get glossed over, ignored or justified with the "only done it to sell the club/cut costs" tag. The banter would have been good if you'd dropped a safety wink, or at least not tried to justify it later on with an unsupportive quote I know this is digging up old bones, but i've struggled to really ascertain where you're at with the board, Stu. To pluck out one of their many horrendous decisions: slinging Keegan and Wise into a melting pot. Would you class that as a 'superficial and emotive error'? Or, like me and many others, would you rank it as one of the worst decisions in the club's history? And, in my lifetime, probably the single worst? You say some fans gloss over the good things they have done. I can admit to that. But i'm genuinely interested to know if you're surprised by that, or if you can even understand why. My immediate reaction to anything the board do well is: "well, it's the least they can do." The sentimental heartache caused, the attempts to diminish the club's heritage, and the potentially catastrophic relegation... all those things leave them forever in our debt as far as i am concerned. And i am sure it's the same for many others. So until they bring us genuine success (and by that i mean surpassing the Bobby era and bringing us silverware), any positive move will be met with cautious approval at best. We might be third and stable now, but they haven't even began the U-turn for me to start lavishing them with praise, or forgiving them for incidents such as this one. I haven't followed the thread all the way through, this is directed more at you and your stance on the board. Because i think defining your stance towards them as "less militant" doesn't quite cut it. You seem quick to pick people out who speak out against the board simply cos they "made their mind up ages ago". Well, there's more to it than that. Interested to hear your response.

I know not directed at me but.... I think there are fans who are just that, they want to enjoy 90 minutes each weekend and maybe the transfer gossip - nothing else matters to them There are also fans (of which I'm one) who want to enjoy the football, but also appreciate the business side of football (neithers wrong - just a distinction) I personally can detatch myself from the passion of the first set of fans and appreciate the sense in some decisions - naming the stadium, appointing a DoF to support a damn fine coach etc, and this is why I don't get so caught up in the anti MA hysteria. That's not to say I can't see the poor execution of these decisions, but it does mean I'm not going to slate someone for doing something that in theory makes sense from a business perspective. To be honest I cringe at the reactions of some about some decisions, but people are wired differently and if thats the level of passion they bring to supporting then great - can't have a go at someone for that. It would be nice however for some people (not confined to this board) to think through things from a non-supporters eyes before venting their frustrations at the ground, whilst no one could say that the post KK demos took us down, it's also fair to say that it had an effect on the Hull result. It would be a crying shame if the supporters actions against this weeks events impacted our good start in any negative way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 On the plus side this bad publicity and loose cannon approach from the CEO is going to have sponsors knocking down the door to get their hands on the stadium deal. You going out celebrating when we turn a profit Colo's...? It'll be proud day after all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it quite sweet in a fucked up way how jealous they are of Shearer and Keggy. They've tried to debunk them at every opportunity and still they can't win and the pair come up smelling of roses compared to these two shit cunts, it obviously grates massively.

That's what I can't work out, the only conclusion I can reach is that they are as shocked as we are at the start we have made and have used it an opportunity to do the shit they wanted to do instead of realising that opinion was thawing and they could have done something special. Time will tell if the performances continue on the pitch and Pardew continues to defy the odds and inspire his squad but if he does it's with no help from above. We could be the first team to have an internal siege mentality as opposed to an external one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'll stick my neck out here and say I'm far more annoyed by the sheer unprofessionalism and cuntishness of Llambias as opposed to the actual content of what he said. He's got no business running a football club if that's how he's going to shoot his mouth off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
