Forever waiting. The worst is when members of our support seemingly back this mentality of perennial waiting as if some magic compelling event is going to occur.

Village Idiot Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 At these times I wish we had some Ultras that would have some connections with the police service They could barricade the stadium from fans trying to enter. I love how under-achieving owners in Italy often have to answer to these Ultras. The negative aspects - obviously - not so much. Just pictured Ashley owning a Turkish or Serbian club.

midds Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 John Anderson saying on Total sport - wait and see what happens in summer. Even if they spend £100m- what do they think will happen when we reach 40 points? If they were in any way serious about spending a bit of money on the club they'd have gone out and paid for a proper manager in January - they didn't, they went for the cheapest option possible, crossed their fingers and hoped it would be enough. That's the crux of the matter and it's not going to change now, this is the policy - spend as little as possible and hope it's enough. The cunts running the gaff have 7 seasons worth of past form to go on and all of these bullshit leaks about investment in the summer are a smokescreen to fool fucking retards into thinking they're serious. Unfortunately it's worked with quite a few of our thicker fans who've swallowed it down whole. They're a pack of fucking arseholes and they've managed to hoodwink cunts like Anderson who are only to willing to push their agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 There will be significant investment in summer because the squad isn't fit for purpose - not even close. Sadly this will fool a significant proportion of the support into buying tickets and shirts, which is why it seems to be club policy now. It was the same last summer and this is how they cottoned on, hence so many contracts running down. There's far more positive PR to be sucked from the gullible by buying a French Sammy Ameobi for £3m than renewing the contract of the one we've got. Do that for half a dozen fringe players and "Wow! Look at the ambition!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Far too many who want to believe in Ashleasy and the club as it means they continue doing what they've always done. As Wullie says with signings, I reckon a hefty chunk who boycotted wouldn't if we hadn't lost six on the bounce. A win, or a point against Hull would see droves returning.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It's difficult, as the game becomes more bloated and grotesquely rich more and more people are going to greater lengths to find something they like about the sport. A lot of fans just want to be left alone. Think there's a lot of truth in this. As the structure of football has become recognisable and the sporting competition is more and more false or even obsolete, we're even more desperate not to think about the bigger picture.

Mattoon Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What are the odds of the Chronic getting banned for their coverage of this? I've read 2 or 3 articles about this now. An Ashley favourite, gag the media, batten down the hatches, remain silent. I can almost see him sat with his fingers in his ears, eyes tightly shut, repeating over and over "can't hear you, can't hear you" while penfold strokes his head.

Wisdom Body Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Re: "Summer Spending" There's a very basic perception that spending money equates to ambition, and it makes everything okay. Yeah, money spent on players bought at the chief scout's whims (and I have enough goodwill towards Carr), with little input from the manager, with no formation or style of play in mind for them to fit into and with no regard to the acquisitions' relation to the attributes of their new teammates. It's not the money, it's the improvisation, expediency, make-it-up-as-you-go mentality and incompetence of the administration. Nobody with any professional dignity would appoint Carver, effectively rendering the club managerless for the final 4 months of the season. Really, his predecessor, chancer-in-chief Alan Pardew, was the perfect face for this club in this state. One of the few hints of a bright idea to emanate from the club recently was the intimation that we might need a Director of Football; somebody to give even a pretence of planning, seriousness and professionalism to the outfit. Naturally faced with the prospect of consistent sporting demands even vaguely threatening to detract from the institution's purpose - Ashley's personal gain - this deteriorated into the farce of the job being given to one of the (decrepit, quasi-senile and barely literate) boys. I'd accept us spending less money than we already do, provided we made sure we knew what we were doing beforehand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difficulty with this campaign anyway will be sustaining it over the summer. The organisers are going to have to be clever about what they target and how to keep a bit of momentum.
