Optimistic Nut Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The press were the same with Steve Kean, I remember being on the way to an away game listening to furious Blackburn fans ringing the BBC demanding to know why they were staunchly defending him. It comes down to two things imo. They want to be seen to provide balance (this is true of something like Total Sport). Except it's not balance, because if you have two pro callers and two anti callers, that's not doing anything other than providing idiots with far more coverage than they deserve. And none of them want to be seen to be saying "this person should lose their job" because they know that at some point, they'll probably end up sat next to them for some TV coverage or other. Very commendable, unfortunately it makes them not fit for purpose.

Their fans saw the decline after a good first half to the season, but because they still finished top 10 (down to a striker they didn't own....eerily familiar), opposition fans and the press took it as a big shock when he was sacked.

themanupstairs Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 He really is a condescending b****** saying we should be grateful with what we have. Yup. Pardew supporters have no right to demand ASHLEY OUT. If the wideboy wasn't happy with the owner, then he could resign. Instead he dedicates wins to Mike and rambles on about value. Fuck off.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 The media don't seem to get that it's the s*** football we are sick of more than our position in the table. Gary Neville on Sky yesterday saying if we'd been offered 9th at the start of the season we'd have taken it. What if that offer of 9th had also stated that we'd get enough points for safety in the first half of the season and then lose just about every game in the second half of the season, regularly being hammered and rarely scoring. Would Gary Neville think the NUFC fans would have wanted that? Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville would be very vocal if their own clubs had performed like we have in the second half of this season. As soon as Man U were playing s*** football and losing the media were sticking the boot in. I bet Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville also question why the West Ham fans want rid of Sam Allardyce. What are they complaining about? They've got safety. As if that is all that matters. Maybe the "We're s*** and we're sick of it" chant needs to come back. That helped get rid of Sam Allardyce.

TaylorJ_01 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Can't help but think the fans wouldn't have allowed a shit manager to lose 6 in a row. I remember all the massive protests.

toon25 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 This football club doesn't deserve fans tbh. We're complete mugs continuing to care whilst being shat upon from a great height by Ashley and co. They've killed ambition, they've killed passion, they've managed to isolate themselves from criticism in the media. There's very little those that do care can do to stop the rot and breathe life into a dying club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
