The club won't and fans like that can get f*cked ...

... I'm getting really bored with all the whining tbh.

Next it'll be the transfer window and criticising every time someone leaves or joins.

I remember a time when the default was blind faith, now it's attack the club. It's absolutely pathetic when people whine about Danny Batth being allowed to leave then criticise the club for not showing ambition <laugh>
The underwhelmed brigade boil my piss.
 
still will be the new gaffer
Really !!! I don't think you are correct in any way, shape or form there. Football clubs love fans full stop and want as many of them as they can get even if they are ultra critical.
I do not know a fan who is not critical but TBH some are overly and even aggressively critical about minor problems, however the club would still hope to hold onto every supporter as long as they are not undesirable characters like the Fan mocking young Bradley or people hurling about racist abuse etc.
The problem is that criticism should be well thought out and a modicum of evaluation put into it not just bashed out on a keyboard after somebody has just finished a session on line with their therapist on xhamster.
He's never correct mate.
We all have opinions, we will never always agree, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
However the amount of times he's comes out with statements that are so factually untrue are amazing.
 
I think a large part of the problem is that, as a society, we've made complaining and criticising a virtue. We've been told "you should question the establishment" but people don't understand what that means. It's as if the establishment is three, slightly drunk, elderly gents, sitting at a big oak table at the top of a flight of marble steps with a big gilded sign saying "THE ESTABLISHMENT" hanging over them, and flinging out proclamations on a whim. Its not. The establishment is the combined hard work of lots of people over time to achieve a collective body of knowledge. And because of how that body of knowledge is achieved, its changing all the time. When (sensible) people say we should question it, what they really mean is we should test, using the same rigorous methods, the conclusions that the establishment currently believes to be accurate. This is how the establishment develops. Unfortunately, what the general public think this means is "blindly attack what you hear, especially if it doesn't fit with what you want to hear" and/or "believe the lone weirdo with no formal training or experience in the matter because what they are saying fits in more with what I want to believe".

What this has led to is a society that has no respect for anyone else's experience or expertise. When you combine this with the lack of resilience in the population and everyone's demand to have exactly what they want, immediately, you get lots and lots of people with no patience.

Therefore, when a football team isn't winning, people are desperate to claim that the owners and the staff are incompetent, simply because they can't cope with the fact that things aren't going their way. They claim that poor results are evidence that the club is run by idiots or misers or conmen. They aren't interested in looking for the more complicated but more accurate answer. All because society has conditioned them in to believing that they should criticise without understanding.
It's just human nature that we're more likely to complain about something negative than to praise something positive. The difference these days is that with the internet and forums etc, rather than just being a little moan that's quickly forgotten, all the negativity gets amplified and people jump on the bandwagon like that's the prevailing view, when it really isn't.

Agree with this. The Internet has diminished moral values and spread gossip much further than just the garden fence.
