Continued poor running : Sat Nov 18, 2017 7:14 am  

It seems the poor running of the club continues
Even though this is a supposed totally new regime..
There are only a couple of faces left from past companies that could be to blame.. .
Duffy been one, especially as he seems to have a hand in coach gate.....who keeps getting things so wrong and why?

Is anyone else sick to death of reading constant negativity on this forum? Maybe it's the lack of admin that's getting everyone down, god knows but I'm taking a long break from this forum for no other reason than I'm sick of the monotonous moaning our fans are currently capable of.

You got there before me lol, my thoughts exactly.
Some of you guys just love to moan!

I think the major moan would be 'comminicationgate', the other stuff, coach etc is unfortunate, but ultimately recoverable - well it is if the money is there.

As for the future, let's get past the legal shenanigans scheduled for January and hope for the best.

Hopefully we'll cheer up once we get a proper coach and a few more signings.

I guess the decline of the last 11 years has left me at least very sceptical. The lyrics of the song "Won't get fooled again" keep occurring to me.

I agree some may be overboard but other comments aren't. Where as other social media sites people are blindly supportive and wont have a bad word said against the club or the people involved. I find on here its constructive and not moaning per se, I think a lot of people on here (probably like yourself) have parted with thousands over the years and to be fair are well within their rights (IMHO of course) to be annoyed with the current goings on. This search for a coach and the people involved won't help with the chairman not wanting to front the incoming coach up at interview stage. I do think fans on here particularly have been of the most patient and to see people who have been posting for years saying the things they do I find it more than understandable

I actually feel that it's fairly balanced on here and certainly not constant negativity although it would be nice if the club addressed some of the issues so that there is less to moan about wouldn't it?

However there are plenty of Facebook groups that will welcome anyone who likes to bury their heads in the sand and pretend everything is fantastic and that we should just 'get on with supporting the club' and not dare to question what we are backing with our time and money.

Speaking personally, I know quite a few long term supporters who would definitely have been classed as 'hardcore' supporters who aren't bothering next year, isn't that concerning and worth discussing? I don't think that they enjoy moaning about the club, I think they just care deeply and don't wish to see us fall any deeper. That's how I see it anyway.

I’m giving the benefit of doubt over the coach, as all the other backroom staff appointments over the last few weeks have been filled by experienced people. The youth setup is still intact and actually seems to be expanding. So the right coach will set us up nicely for this season

Reasons to be cheerful...

1 - We have got a club, which (currently) isn't going under. It even appears stable, despite relegation.

2 - We have signed some great players for next season. At the moment that is.

3 - This is a quiet time of the season, and one where a head coach isn't necessity. Although the club really should have put some thought into this before, I would rather spend time getting the right person than rush into it and end up with someone whose heart isn't really in it.

Apologies to Ian Dury
