Did we expect any different, from the people who, have little interest or desire to achieve anything other than real estate.The comparison between Enic and the Tories are pretty amazing . “ Have patience “ “ Hold our nerve”
Less than 3 weeks to bed a CB or 2 into a new system is poor but it’s what we’ve come to expect . The apathy is clear to see. It’s hard to be enthusiastic, as he says , I hope we see some decent football & that’s about the limit of my expectations , our defense simply isn’t good enough to expect anything
Not really no . One lives in hope but , we’ve been here too many times . Gets to the point where you’re just numb to it . We’ll probably be in the same situation 18 months time regarding a manager, it’s a well trodden path.Did we expect any different, from the people who, have little interest or desire to achieve anything other than real estate.
Deep down no but hope has to spring eternal as a football fan. I did for a very brief moment think even them, with their ivory tower arrogance might realise that with the abuse they got last season, another new manager and a last chance to persuade Kane to stay they might act accordingly. Same old same old though, bare minimum to shut up some of the plebs and back to sell before we buy. Postecoglou immediately hamstrung.Did we expect any different, from the people who, have little interest or desire to achieve anything other than real estate.
It's actually quite funny, although shocking at the same time.Not really no . One lives in hope but , we’ve been here too many times . Gets to the point where you’re just numb to it . We’ll probably be in the same situation 18 months time regarding a manager, it’s a well trodden path.
Kane will definitely be gone, it's just about who we bring in that matters now.Deep down no but hope has to spring eternal as a football fan.

Thoroughly depressing but the positive of this outcome is the crowd turn on Levy, not even the annoying contrary pricks on here can defend him once this unfoldsKane will definitely be gone, it's just about who we bring in that matters now.
Levy will screw BM over for a fortune, and then spend around half that on replacement keeping the rest in the kitty.
The manager will eventually work it out, if he hasn't done already, if he has come here to try and compete for glory, well it's like this......

We'll sign one senior CB i'm sure, who and when is the question. Dont worry about the spin, if we get Phillips as well it will be 'Ange loves him and sees him as a first team player' 'or 'Diers looking good after his injury issues and impressing in training'. Its become a post window annual tradition.I don't know how people will manage to put a positive spin on things if we fail to sign at least one CB, that is just an unimaginable situation for the club to be in.
Surely, SURELY Levy must know that isn't a wise decision?
Once that inevitable thing unfolds…that someone on the internet made up in a burst of misery porn.Thoroughly depressing but the positive of this outcome is the crowd turn on Levy, not even the annoying contrary pricks on here can defend him once this unfolds
There's definitely a strong element of Stockholm Syndrome permeating within our fanbase. That's the shocking part for me.It's actually quite funny, although shocking at the same time.

Happy to be proven wrong. Have high hopes for Ange but he’s really not getting backed, might change quickly in the next ten days, let’s see.Once that inevitable thing unfolds…that someone on the internet made up in a burst of misery porn.
Is everything ok at home?
It is wise , pennywise , pound foolishI don't know how people will manage to put a positive spin on things if we fail to sign at least one CB, that is just an unimaginable situation for the club to be in.

It's almost sadistic, as people are paying top dollar for it.There's definitely a strong element of Stockholm Syndrome permeating within our fanbase. That's the shocking part for me.
The more Daniel shits on the supporters and abuses our club, the more defensive and fanatical they are in support of him.
I'm not gonna lie, I genuinely find it quite disturbing.
But also fascinating!
I'm interested to see who disagrees with this too. They'll probably be a typical specimen of who I'm describing .

How gullable are they, to place your trust in, a company that, has little interest in the core business.

I don’t think anyone could or would positively spin that. Especially now that Ange has explicitly stated that we need at least one centre back.I don't know how people will manage to put a positive spin on things if we fail to sign at least one CB, that is just an unimaginable situation for the club to be in.

Don't worry mate, this doesn't affect you
