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... Regardless of what tipped the balance, results and performances sadly should have made this inevitable some time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe things from his perspective are somewhat different to yours? Why not try to contact him and have an open forum to discuss your points directly with him? Should the next manager appointed be one that the average fan is excited about and transfer backing is given to said new manager, will all be suddenly forgiven? I for one do not think Chansiri is perfect and certainly believe mistakes have been made but thinking back to previous regimes, maybe things aren't as bad as is being made out? We forget where we were only a few seasons ago when mid table in the championship was a great acheivement.... Cheer up and enjoy Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Owl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Neil is bang on with all his comments under this thread. Either the chairmans had to make a decision he didn't want to make and so has a go at the fans for putting him under pressure. Or Carlos handed in his resignation, the chairman tried to talk him out of it but blamed the fans for pushing Carlos in his direction. All this about the fans is rubbish. Most other clubs fans would have been nowhere near as patient as what the majority of our fans have been this season with the absolute dross which has been served up. The chairman should be giving a rallying cry and leading the way with positivity of where we go from here instead he appears to be going completely in an opposite direction which is not what any of us want to hear as it causes further friction as this thread is an example of.

The quote of a generation and people who think that words and actions have no conciquences. Calling the mangers rubbish all season and seeing Carlos out everywhere HAS had an effect on things down at S6. Sorry the negative fan base HAS had an influence in this and people thinking otherwise is more blind than the blunts thinking they were going to walk the league. Absolve the people of responsibility and they will love you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
