There’s a thread already in progress on this topic, which was pinned for a few hours...until Carlos news broke. Why couldn’t you have just posted your thoughts on there? Just an observation really. Dont get me wrong, I’m not particularly happy at the moment. But it’s not all bad either. Anyway. Not trying to be tool. Merry Christmas mate.

Ever the pessimist Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Totally agree with the OP. Think fan base have actually been remarkably patient/ quiet about dissatisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the original points I made.... Yea I understand, you feel strongly about this in particular I can tell pal. I would just say don't be too worried, imo the chairman is just as frustrated as us, and went on a mad Wednesday fan rant like we all do. Wouldn't read into the statement too much. It seems like he likes to be open with us, but some things are best not said at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have a brilliant one Ps I've been negative because it's been the maddest, poorest season for many a year with the worst football, the maddest ticket prices, the craziest retail offering and the first season in a long time where the club appears to be taking on the fans head on with everything from the exec box holders to the fans now apparently at fault for hounding out carlos when we all know that's just a smokescreen.

He wont' have seen it See what I mean? SMOKESCREEN Our fans are AMAZING I've never known a season like it where so many errors and blunders have been made, and where the team has played so poorly (RECORD LOWEST NUMBER OF SHOTS ON GOAL REMEMBER) and yet have remained patient, tolerant and supportive. This fan thing is a smokescreen Not just at him though. At everyone, all over club posts on social media, at the players, shouted from the stands etc He lived in the city, it was impossible not to hear. I have some great friends, but some of them were poisonous towards him as well. As much as it's not all the fans fault, I took my other half to the game yesterday and she said 'I don't want to come again', purely because of how everyone was spitting poison at him from the stand. That isn't being an amazing set of fans. Personally, I think all fans are the same at all clubs. Good fans and bad fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he likes to be open with us, but some things are best not said at all. If he'd come out and thanked the fans for their ongoing support then he'd have more credibility and support today Instead he's seemingly labelled the entire fanbase because a handful of idiots might have ranted on twitter occasionally. What about the many thousands of fans who have sat there patiently watching our team fail to even shoot once at the opposition goal, when ordinarily and in any other season they'd have been irate and chanting for the manager/chairmans head. The Chairman simply doesn't seem to realise how good he's had it over the last few months in terms of fans patience and tolerance Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 6 minutes ago, mkowl said: I totally agree with you. I was confused about the statement even before the Carlos stuff came along and still no wiser. Given it would appear the decision was made yesterday evening makes it even more bizarre. It's like a drunken rant post on Owlstalk that you read the next day and it's like WTF was I doing. The powder should have been kept dry and then a more conciliatory rallying call statement issued on Boxing Day 100% agree with this. IMO it was poor judgement from the chairman to make that long winded rambling statement. He has to rise above certain things. Occasionally issuing positive rallying cries. This will not play well with potential top quality candidates for coach. You don’t air your dirty laundry in public. Looks like he couldn’t help himself.

Exactly this What's happened at SWFC this season has been no different than any other time a team fails to deliver and a manager is needed to be changed. HOWEVER Our fans have been infinitely more patient than at 99.999% of any other clubs that have been in the same position/situation that's for sure Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t agree... I have heard Carlos Out chants at perhaps 4 matches all season (1 being yesterday). Seen 1 banner (on here - didn’t see it at the ground).
