It’s not really about the money though is it, it’s more to do with making a statement. You and the other quick payers clearly aren’t bothered about how the club is being tun and keep sucking it up. Your choice of course, but I can’t see this club improving until fans start showing some backbone and stop rewarding mediocrity.

Too right! The football’s plenty boring enough on its own, without punishing ourselves even more with the mind numbing pressers.

Geat occasion and I extended it with a few days stay up in London, so had a cracking time. Some great memories of a time when we could take some genuine pride in the club we support.

They could really find this coming back and biting them on the ass. Imagine them missing out on season ticket sales to people wanting to transfer their ST over to the SS from other stands and then having a poor uptake of potd tickets. Instead of empty seats due to no-show ST holders (money already in the club’s pocket) and instead have empty seats due to people not taking up potd (so no money at all). Could turn out to be a massive own goal. As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

That looks like how our early bird system used to work, before our club decided to rinse us fans for whatever they can squeeze out of us. Now we’ve got to hand over our money early and swallow a price rise, just to retain our seat.

Very fair comment. Tourist fans go to high profile or successful clubs, not to watch the dross we dish out. If a’tourist’ was daft enough to come along once, they certainly wouldn’t return!

I just hope it’s the crappest teams possible, to give us the best chance of staying up next season, if our bright and sparkling young head. coach is still hanging in there

Guess so, though I’ve mellowed a bit towards Colin in my older years ….. probably due the painful lack of characters in the game now. Love him or hate him, he certainly doesn’t fade into the background. We’re well aware of the lack of character issue with Mr Personality Bypass Manning!

That’s how I read that too. Basically they’re saying, if you don’t renew your SS ST by deadline day, you lose any chance of getting a new ST there in the foreseeable future, even if your previous seat is still available. Talk about bouncing you into renewing by waving a big stick. ******* arseholes

Unfortunately that potential means Jack shit while those out of their depth people and absent owner continue at this club. Just watch the potential all disappear over the next couple of transfer windows too. The so-called pathway for the young talent now seems to have disappeared, as how else can you explain decisions like bringing in someone like Mabude, when Yeboah doesn’t get a sniff any more? We’re just a rudderless boat, with a couple of idiots sat on board and flapping their hands in the water to move it, as they’re too stupid to realise you actually need oars to make it move. Total shambles and all of the club’s/owner’s own doing

I’ve always preferred Older Dinosaurs to Tedious Attention Seekers.

Really hope so

Well, if he’s not really looking for a return on his millions and he’s happy for his son to run the club into the ground, we’re well and truly ******!

What baffles me is, even if it turns out that Hargreaves was the real brains behind Hargreaves Lansdown, SL can’t be daft. He must see his investment turning to shit under his idiot son, so why is he sitting back and letting it happen? I can’t think what the benefit is for him hanging on to the club, but I do wonder if there may be some benefits we aren’t aware of, or why bother? We all speculate that he’s priced the club so high he can’t sell, but its value is only going one way at the moment. A good business man would realise that, drop the price, cut the losses and get out now. He clearly doesn’t love the club, so he is either a piss poor businessman and football club owner, or he has some other reason for hanging on, when he shows no interest in improving matters and is actually strangling the life out of the club and totally alienating the fanbase.

How the hell can we have gone so far backwards, in so little time?! Every time we appear to be making some form of progress, (under Cotterill and Pearson as examples), it gets soundly stamped on and we revert to type.

So right. It’s ridiculous isn’t it and I don’t believe it would be possible for this club to be more shambolically run. It amazes me that there are still fans supporting Lansdown, after the shitshow he’s turned us into. Why the **** is he still here, if he cares so little about our club?

It wouldn’t have done any harm to make them sweat on it until nearer to the deadline though. That’s one of the few options left to us fans to make a protest about the current shambles.

In comparison to the current chump, he was!!!

Don’t ever stop posting MC, as you’re always worth a good laugh, however poor the City are

Fair enough that’s your view. For me, when self-serving backstabbers become legends, that indicates the title legend needs redefining in the dictionary.

The conundrum is, what are the chances of this shower actually identifying, or even wanting that right manager, let alone convincing them to come here under the current regime? It feels like we’re in a real catch 22 situation right now and the only way it appears that can be broken is if the man at the top decides to finally sell up.

Great post Can also add, some of SL’s ‘investments’ are actually loans. If he actually wants those loans repaid, this could well be what’s frightening off potential new owners, if it’s inflating the asking price to the point where we don’t make financial sense to invest.

I’d put money onthe WhatsApp being far more entertaining than our football. We can clearly see the problems from the stands, so can only guess how the players must be feeling.

Sounds like a plan! Either that or give players the opportunity to have a couple of weeks to come up with some ideas themselves, as I can’t see that being as bad as what we’re currently witnessing!!!

….. we’ve seen how far backwards he can take us with just a week of on the grass training, so I shudder to think what he’ll do with 2 weeks
