ron obvious 1,473 Posted October 27, 2019 I think the problem lies more with some of the tin pot 'supporters' viz. the OP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirku 1,331 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) And not once in those 20 years did you realise a club like ours is always going to flit between the two top divisions? Amazing Edited October 27, 2019 by kirku Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orly 277 Posted October 27, 2019 Firstly, I like Delia and Michael and I like the way they run the club. However, I do get a bit annoyed when people talk about us doing it the "right" way. The 'right' way is a pretty objective term to be used so subjectively. The "right" way could also feasibly be Man City "spend zillions, win title" as well couldn't it? I certainly don't view "we only spent 1.5 million on transfers fee" as some form of twisted badge of honour. Frankly, it makes us look a bit tinpot. However, it is what it is. No point whining about it. Just as an aside... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the answer to that is why this **** should be banned once Pete has looked at his or her post history. There’s a difference between a genuine frustrated supporter venting, and someone that 110% categorically revels in it and is here only to bring the mood of the loyal NCFC supporter down. And that isn’t helpful for our club. I’ve seen true NCFC supporters banned from here on many occasion, yet this w⚓️ is allowed to carry on?

Old Shuck 181 Posted October 27, 2019 Plenty of clubs outside the Premier League with massively wealthy owners, Master Keith. Using your logic, Stoke would be up there and thriving. Coates being a billionaire. Whilst the combined net wealth of the Rotherham owners is around six times that of ours. So they're hardly "tinpot owners" -but their club will never play in the Premier League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted October 27, 2019 Commentators continue to use the word ‘naive’ when describing our play. It is certainly starting to look naive to only spend the money we did and not improve the starting 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is 10 years without beating us and being consigned to league 1 has left a lot of pent up emotions down the road and they'll take every chance they can get. If you told me 12 months ago that would come in match threads where we lose at home to United on weekends when they're travelling to Southend I'd have bit your arm off 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure which point you're disagreeing with in my post, but as it stands, it certainly doesn't look like we brought in the players we "needed" as we at risk of being marooned in the relegation zone. Sure injuries played their part to an unlikely degree, but tough luck for us. Rewarding players is great. It's also what promotion bonuses are for in existing contracts though. I'll still be right behind Farke & Webber even if we are relegated, but it doesn't mean I have to be blind to any potential failings in the meantime. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. Like every other human they won't get it right all the time. Perhaps it was felt that any money that would have been spent wouldn't have improved the team enough to be warranted and seeing where improvements are needed in January was preferred. Injuries have now meant that has not turned out to be the case. For as long as we have a team giving it their all and playing for the manager I'll be 100% behind them all no matter where we finish this season. I think Uniteds poor form can cause expectations to rise a little too high and forget the calibre of players they are still able to put out against us. 3-1 loss but fighting till the end and while injuries are not the sole cause of our frustrations they are still there and as with Onel we can be optimistic for our key players return. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gordon Bennett 768 Posted October 27, 2019 As has been said before, supporters are going to need intestinal fortitude this season as we are going to find it tough going. Suggesting we are down in October is not showing that fortitude. We all know there is stuff to work on but you can only trust the management and players to get better and those who are injured to make a difference when they return. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although I didn't say that we 'were marooned', but that we were at risk of it, which I would argue we are. And also, the only time we can conclusively judge what the right / wrong thing to do is once safety or relegation is confirmed, and even then it's still only hypothetical. I'm feeling annoyingly-philosophical today. I'll think I'll go and correct that by drinking 4 pints of stella and calling someone bigger than me a sl*g. 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
