He also dropped one of his toys whilst he was unwrapping it. It broke and the shops weren't open to replace it. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphanram Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think it’s unrealistic to hold managers against every statement they make. Our reality over the last 30 odd years is that we’re predominantly a second tier club that has on three occasions got into the top division. Cox, Smith and Davies managed it whilst the rest have failed in that quest. Some of those failures spent more money, some probably had better ‘footballing’ teams (thinking of Mac1 and Burley, of course the the Smith prem team was probably the best of these). This reality is sometimes unbalanced against the size of our fan base and our facilities etc.. which gives an expectation we should be a prem club but the number of fans you have or training grounds don’t earn you promotion. Who knows what GR can do with the team but he needs at least 3 transfer windows in my opinion. When the football is dull it can be difficult for fans but I think the team and GR need a bit more support and patience from us fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t cry. Was grateful for what I received, looking back now I’m a little wiser and older I accept that there maybe many reasons why I didn’t get what I wanted. Out of stock, too expensive. Out of stock? Too expensive? Sorry to break this to you but the reason you didn't get what you want is.... Santa doesn't exist. (Neither does the Easter bunny).

Neither play expansive football and make do to survive. Of course it would be nice to do a Leicester, or repeat the feats of BC and Mackay, but I don't think it's too much to expect of a club of our size to copy WBA!

And both of those examples have done it by playing relatively dull football. In fact I’d argue that neither have had a single exciting season in the premiership, never threatening for Europe, and never really threatened by relegation. What’s the point? I’d actually prefer to be a yo-yo club, or constantly towards the top or playoff positions in the championship. Even our fullest season in the past 5 years has been more exciting than WBAs most exciting season. Its a weird paradox, we all want promotion, I’m no different, because you’ve got to be in it to win it. But ultimately, I don’t think it will lead to a more fulfilling experience as a fan, and as a form of entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Sur Pringle I suppose but yoyo can be great, every other season seeing lots of goals and wins as opposed to a Coventry style survival,with nothing much to get excited about season after season, even xanado lost its appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
