    Perhaps I'm seeing what isn't there ...

    ... or perhaps some are ignoring what is there.

    It's my opinion of what people are thinking but not daft enough to say it out loud.

    So they're being vague about it, that's my opinion.

    That's fair enough, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but from reading posts my opinion is your seeing for too much in an effort to be ultra positive

    Not believing we're in a relegation fight is hardly being ultra positive now is it?

    It's not just that though is it?

    We won't ever agree on this, so best to leave it

    If we are going to be posting so confidently about what people are thinking then god help us. This place is meant to be about chatting and debating. Not about predicting what people are thinking and posting it with any sense of certainty.

    I did and in the replies since its clear we won't agree or find a common ground, so best to leave it isn't it?

    That's all I'm doing.

    People seem quite happy to decide what the owner is thinking with no evidence whatsoever.

    I'm commenting on what people are posting and giving my opinion ...

    ... the very fact we have this thread suggests there's some truth in it.

    There's no doubt some people have some serious grudges against the club and don't just chat or debate ... they state 'facts' they've made up.

    Yes, I was debating a specific situation with Topcat about making up scenarios that may never happen.

    This is one post from this thread so I know it's not just my wild imagination, I can't be bothered to look for more tbh.

    " It just annoys me that your concerns could add fuel to the fire for those posters who just want to wack the club."

    Haven't read many of the posts on here but imo there is zero chance we go down this season. That's just pure panic by those that think so.
    Relax! Mind you next season will be a struggle without Clarke, Ballard and possibly Neil.
    The model is great if we sell a big player every so often and reinvest that money into the squad. That's where I worry...I don't think all those funds will be directly invested into the first team squad.

    We don't make enough for all the funds to be allocated to the first team, that's just life I'm afraid.

    I believe the majority will, but some will go elsewhere and i hope the academy get the lions share

    So are you saying that whilst it isn't good for some situations, you can imagine scenarios in which making up scenarios is ok?

    Cards on the table, I like it.

    I'm not imagining a scenario, I'm commenting on the tone of some posts/posters and giving my opinion.

    Topcat had put forward a future scenario similar to the post two up from yours.

    So are you stooping to the level of those you arent happy with? Guessing at what posters are thinking, and likely guessing wrong?

    The last 6 months has seen this place go down the pan. Points scoring galore. I am guilty. Time for a rethink om my behalf. To many posters being chased away, like Exile and Rooch. Folk need a lesson in self awareness and an acceptance that their opinion is just that, an opinion, and no bugger has the right to claim to know others opinion :emoticon-0121-angry

    You, quite literally, just made up that people are desperate for the club to fall down the table.

    Exile was banned for usually having different views and always disagreeing with Smug. Can’t speak for Rooch but imo I think he’s stopped posting because of what you have just said and that’s because of the way the board is going now.
