No harm, people can feel how they want about the club.
I know who’s position I’d rather be in when it comes to SAFC or Ipswich, though.

Very true.

I'd rather have been in Everton's position until I found they were heading to administration and couldn't pay for their new stadium.

Leicester's when they won the PL before they had financial sanctions and were relegated.

Birmingham's until all the big talk about 'fearless football' turned to mush and they dropped to where we've just left.

Outside of the clubs like Man City things can change very quickly ...

... who's next for a points deduction.
 
Poch leaving Chelsea has blown my mind to be honest. But it has crystalised something that has been bothering me for a while. Slowly but surely I have been falling out of love with elite domestic football. Sky and the money at prem level started an inexorable decline. It has got worse though due to the modern football club owner. By and large they are a useless and incapable bunch, and not aware enough of how to make their business a success. They are in the process of putting the final nail in the coffin of the English game, which was once part of the fabric of our country, but no longer is.

Head coaches are seen as discardable cogs. They are given targets to achieve, but those targets are set by folk who have no knowledge upon which to base those targets. Once upon a time a coach was deemed fundamental to a club and was given time to create a team in their clubs image. Now, in our world of instant success or else, it is barely just over 1 season they get. Owners with significant wealth have ruined what was left of football in this country. We are left with a shell of a sport, one where there is arguably more talk in the fan base across a season about who should be next coach versus the actual matches. Sad times.

Welcome to the club mate. I've been like that since the Oligarchs and States started ruining football as we knew it. Good riddance to them all and let's start again.
 
Seems like the odds are stacking against us by the day with more clubs adding to this merry go round
 
But won't the NE lose out on all that levelling up we were promised!

Watching some of Roland Rat announcing the forthcoming election getting soaked in the pissing rain.
I couldn't help think that just about summed him and the other useless twáts up.
Most normal people would of had the foresight to take an umbrella.

The country is fúcked after 14 years of them.

The club have been through the leadership of clueless, asset stripping chancers.
We've already started our ascendancy.
 
Flight of fancy. We sacked a manager who was obviously getting more out of these lads than almost anyone else could (got us into the playoffs at least a season before we should have), the idea that we could secure the perfect, golden moment, appointment is why we finished down towards the bottom of the table. You have to be able to recognise a good thing when it's staring you in the face, or you'll always wonder why you fail.

He wasn't tho! He did for a time but then the football turned sour the results dried up and the decisions got worse by the game, it was the right time for him to leave imo.
