Excited Canary 19 Posted March 8, 2009 This really is not fair on Gunny, he is rapidly losing his ''Lengend'' status. The younger ones of us will not know him as a legend anymore :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just can''t believe the level of ineptitude to which we''ve sunk both on and off the pitch. There is no desire, no ambition and no plan, and the club is drifting along like a crippled ship heading for the rocks.The future is bleak indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frying Pan Eyes 0 Posted March 8, 2009 It really is a shame to see this great club sink like a brick in water. If you have a board who are not ambitious the inevitable will happen. We cant just sink without a whimper we need to fight to the end. As the saying goes, " ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS ". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]You''ve hit the nail on the head for me, but back then we could all relate to the players on the pitch, in fact, pre-game you could pretty much state the starting 11. There was an emotional link between us and the players and vice versa, the players were so proud of the colours, which made us proud supporters.It''s all gone, will it ever come back, in my heart I don''t think so.

gazzathegreat 0 Posted March 8, 2009 Robfleck, you are spot on. All that remains for me are memories of better times and a bit of hope that one day they will be back. The present on/off field decline will one day be history and hopefully there will still be something left of our club. I think one day we will have our club back as us older ones knew it, whether it''s 10 or 20 years away now one knows. It''s hard to accept that we are on the verge of dropping into a division I have not experienced, and boy I am OLD!! It''s difficult to comprehend that the board are still operating with their collective heads in the sand while the stability of the club is ebbing away.

JJ 0 Posted March 8, 2009 We WILL be back one day. What goes around comes around, but it might be a long time. What''s really scary is when you look at how long teams have been out of the top flight. It took Stoke 23 years, WBA 16 years, Wolves 19 years and the list goes on. We''ve now been gone 4 years already and counting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[:)].............[/quote]When you''ve seen them go 26 games without a win (1956) it takes a lot to choke you off Cluck.I fully understand the stance taken by those who have given up going and I would like to have a quid for the number of times I''ve sworn never to go again. If I thought boycotting a few games would help then I would do it but I can''t see it changing anything. As you rightly say, it''s a terrible feeling to watch your club destroyed and be powerless to do anything about it.We can only hope that a bit of pain now will be the catalyst for the change we all know is so badly needed.
