Guest mkowl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The point is that we the fans with multi years of experience don't see what is wrong with the majority of posts on here on the subject. These are the same debates we have always had in schools, work or down the pub. The subtle difference is the direct and personal abuse that can now arise. However DC probably hasn't grasped what football clubs mean in the UK albeit he trades off that loyalty. Would you pay for 3 years upfront for anything else in life.

What won't help is the fans being referred to by the chairman as being even a slight % of the problem at the club Same with the now ex managers comments about the fans in recent weeks Wednesday fans will continue. The club will. Hopefully Mr Chansiri will and be a massive success. Our fans really only get overexcited and furious when the team aren't trying or the manager isn't learning from previous defeats. We have the most patient fans in the WORLD You must be (to coin an all to often used phrase) deluded if you believe that last sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't live in a submarine at the bottom of the sea, the man knew how the fans felt and tried to address it each post match interview. I'm not saying it was the only reason but to me the negative fan base has been all I've heard and seen online and in the papers in the last 3 months, that's now over- for that reason I'm glad he's gone...
