I'm utterly ashamed at how bad we are as a fan base currently. Absolute disgrace.

We used to mock the Mags for mistaking endless protesting as passion ...

... we now have people wanting us to protest about seagull poo and the speed a half time pint is poured.*

In the meantime clubs are going bust before our eyes.

*An obvious exaggeration for comic effect.

I don't mind it when a thread goes off at a tangent for a bit. In fact, I quite like it and think it's boring when people complain about it. The constant negativity about every little thing that happens is more than tedious though.
I think on here if it’s player related ‘he needs replacing with better’, transfer budget / recruitment related ‘won’t pay the fees ‘ etc all good. Speakman being nasty to the neighbours cat, Beale has a graty voice can live elsewhere.
 
So we have a club thread for those who hate the club, a Beale thread for those who hate Beale, do we need a Jobe thread for those who hate jobe or a general hate thread for those who hate everything about the club and want to rant on, a bit like hell. That might help us keep this thread to winter transfers.
I actually don’t think anyone hates jobe there simply pointing out which seems clear as day that the lad needs a rest
 
He seems to drift out of games and then his head goes down. I've watched every game both home and away on TV and I've struggled to find him on the pitch at times.

I'm not knocking him as he was very much in the early season games I just feel that for whatever reason he is being managed poorly the last 6-8 games.

**** the politics surrounding his transfer to us and give the lad a rest or risk him breaking down which could finish his " our " season.

I can't imagine other talented 17/18 Yr olds being treated like this and flogged to exhaustion. I can only think of the young centre half we had on loan from Man City who's name escapes me...ah yes it was Doyle !!!
It is too easy to lookk at individual players and find fault as you could really pick out most of the team, it is really about our tactics formations and attitude on the pitch. These young players should be puffing there chests out and playing the brand of football they were brought here to play not this backs to the wall slow and turgid build up we have been playing since before TM was relieved of his duties.
 
I think a massive amount of trust was lost over the BCB fiasco, now people are looking a lot more closely at how the club goes about its business and finding holes pretty much everywhere.
The Black Cats Bar thing has been blown out of all proportion and people are imagining what happened on, at best, very slim evidence. Because they've convinced themselves over that there is something wrong, they're jumping at shadows and turning every minor thing into evidence that the club is in dire straits.

Haway man Norton, the owner was devastated and promised an investigation, has he blown it up to?

Agreed. I think the worst thing that could have happened was us getting drawn against the Saudis in the cup. Regardless of our positions in football right now, a game against them lot was always going to heighten tensions. I agree re BCB - there are so many versions of the truth hanging around, and even the truth can be spun a few ways - the ticket allocation/gate receipts narrative could be spun to support OR attack the powers that be. People need to move on

Exactly this, Jobe is a fantastic prospect but appears like he needs a rest, I feel there are better attacking options than him currently in the squad and playing them elsewhere so Jobe fit in is detrimental to the team as a whole. We can't afford that on our current run.

I don't think anyone hates Jobe however some fans will start to have a go at him soon if he keeps underperforming, he needs protecting from that.

Well, the signs were put up, and he's said he wasn't happy about it and will investigate. That should be the end of it. We don't need all these endless theories about who did it, why it was done, who knew about it, and whatever else.

Everyone thinks everything is a conspiracy nowadays. Its usually not.
