People are merely throwing the toys out of the pram because their expectation is exceeding what the players and manager is delivering. Your so out of touch its unreal...wevare in big trouble on and off the field..believe you me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now is not even remotely comparible to then. It seems things must get that extreme to warrant a protest with our fans. Just doing bobbar and going backwards as a club isn't bad enough.

Pompeyowl Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 1 minute ago, Captain Sl-OWL-ly said: I think the frustration now is more about what the owner is allowing to be delivered without him doing anything about it.. Maybe so. But it’s still not comparible. We risked not having a club. Not having anywhere to go on a Saturday afternoon (or whenever suits Sky). Not having a club that we all love so dearly, and part with our hard earned cash to see disappoint us. I’d take a lifetime in Leagues One and Two under the management of Alan Irvine over not having a club. And we are still the closest we’ve been to a return to the Premier League, bar the past two seasons, since we were relegated from the top tier.

In 3 years time I really believe we have more chance of being in League 1 with financial problems then in the Premier League.

owlmanc Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Years ago we were a mess. Now we're an expensive mess. Ageing players in big contracts and mis management on and off the field ... Just like the late 90s that got us to where we are now. Lessons not learnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlthorpe Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 We have 2 types of fans, the ones who are just happy clappers and the ones who realise something is wrong , the chairman is not a football man although a good honest man, we urgently need a change of manager , money does not guarantee success , let's get back to being a working class club again, let's get our Wednesday back ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkowl Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 1 hour ago, owlthorpe said: Can't understand why years ago we would demonstrate under the south stand and now we just do nothing , the football is so negative ,so back foot with no pace. Why are we so middle class it's embarrassing ! The first time ever we have had some money but the manager plays defensive football, would rather watch the team from the seventies havi I think it was made clear today to both Carlos and the players that the fans have had enough. He cannot claim the fans are backing him and only social media has a problem with him. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make me unique. I’m not a happy clapper, and I’m no doom merchant. I think we need a shake up. Kind of agitating the bottle and getting the chemicals mixed again. However, I am not calling for Carlos’ head. I will not clap a pathetic performance purely because they play in a Wednesday shirt, but I won’t boo a loss if I feel we’ve given everything. There are changes that need to happen. One of those major changes, as you rightly stated above, is that we need to get back to our working class roots. Our owner needs to know his audience a lot more than he currently does. But we need to get behind the boys. We can make a massive difference, and I think we have are partly to blame for part of our own downfall. Likewise, we can be a massive part of our uprising, but we need to back the lads wherever possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what mild fighting is but I didn't see any. FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
