steviestevieneville Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Not just the fans but the actual club have a inferiority complex. If they concentrated on being the best they can be instead obsessing over what we’re doing all the time it might help. That, and having continuous owners that haven’t got a pot to piss in hasn’t helped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of mileage in that one. I just had a look at it and disappointingly, it’s a statement rather than a question. The OP is stating that it’s because they sell their best players but don’t reinvest the money, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they are losing money hand over fist even when they have punters through the door. It’s a quite depressing thread full of sensible answers with only a couple of “gifts” for us such as the guy who says he is also a Manchester United fan (never understood how that works) and the usual fantasist who thinks they are a big club with a huge fan base.

Major Isewater Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 After signing McCormick , the Chelsea ‘ wonder kid ‘ here is a recap from his time at Shrewsbury. ’ WA Wayne8513 HRS AGO More research and balance needed. "hardly saw anything of McCormick, like Colkett from the year before I guess the non competitive nature of life at the Chelsea Under 21’s has not prepared him for real football" "Showed flashes of brilliance in his first game and looked like he could be an asset. The games after that he put in some terrible performances, he couldn’t do anything right" "The kid is probably great showing off juggling a ball in a park but can't tackle or pass when the pressure is on" Coming for us .

Depends which way you look at it. If I were to say to you that a non-league club who is struggling financially and has a poor Infastructure, has managed to get themselves a few promotions in the last 5 years and are now plying their trade in League 1, then you would say that they have been a relatively successful club wouldn't you?

wendyredredrobin Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Success in their eyes would be erecting a new tent, importing a bus stop and calling it a stand, adding row M to it, replacing the portaloos with a 21st century solution and finding some unexpired crisps and Fantas to sell to their dwindling fanbase. In truth, survival is about as much as they can hope for as things stand, though Ben Garner seems to be doing as much as he can to ensure their speedy demise.
