Short Is Failing Us

Sick of being persecuted as a mag for standing up for the fans, yes we have no god given right to do well in anything, but ffs we are getting pissed on by the people who run our club because they know we'll suck it up and be back, the only way to stop the disease that has plagued the club for years is to hit them where it hurts, only then will the changes start to happen.

very passionate.
 

This great Club is failing its greatest assets, the fans, they say we're the real legends, they see us more as mugs with money and passion.
They have planted spies in the camp to spy on fans who tarnish their good name, they are trying to rip the very strong bond these great fans had with each other.

Tell it like it is. It's not like we have anyone defending us in the media. The papers seem to detest us and even pundits such as Gabbiadini emphatically fail to sum up our situation, opting instead to defend the club and desperately try to remain positive. No questions asked.

well he certainly does sit on the fence a bit and doesn't take questioning the club well, even shouting over fans or dropping calls to shut them up.

He's shit scared of upsetting the club, he states things that make no sense, sticking up for the club ect...

i think that most points won at this level of sport are usually settled by very fine margins. i think westwood is a decent keeper who can do a decent job. mig was capable of doing the same job and on occasions go the little bit extra to make up that fine margin and actually influence the outcome of some games.
No matter how much money they have teams can only field eleven players at once so the ones in the top 10% of ability are priced exponentially higher than others. It literally cost millions of £ extra for every 1% increase in quality above a certain level.

I don't think we benefitted at all from selling mig for £9million and i said so at the time. Even if we are going to sell our best players it has to be on our terms with the odds stacked in our favour.

You should highlight the FIVE threads ive started on Mannone. Right from the first time i saw him play and long before he gained cult status.
We got very very lucky with Mannone, i don't think judgement was involved, just pure f**king luck we got 1 out of 14 right.

Westwood is ok. Nothing special at all. He's a decent keeper with a couple of flaws.

yes and there would of been protests, but this isn't that era, and we are shit scared of looking like the mags we don't dare stand up and fight for a cause, wasn't a problem back in 2006 mind, but that was another life.

Bizarre to comment on a post I made nearly 6 months ago.

If he doesn't appoint a good manager/head coach then I think it's time for him to call it a day and get out.

He's sold Mignolet and Sessegnon and failed to replace them.

We needed more quality and we've brought in bargain basement players.

There is no communication and there appears to be no direction. Commercially we may be doing well but that will count for very little if we are relegated which is looking inevitable.

Very disappointing.

Don't forget Jordan Henderson.
 
Quinn and his mates spending more money than we had coming in on shite is what has failed us.

Clubs hands are tied due to the FFP etc.

The FFP which Short was one of the main supporters has only helped in our downfall.

6m for Altidore and he's our second biggest earner!

This thread was made in October and as usual others on here were choosing to stick their heads in the sand. Many of us had seen it all before and knew the writing was on the wall.

Short still had time to do something about it in January. Hull signed Long and Jelavic, we signed Scocco...

So where were your threads in Jan/Feb telling us all was not well. Did you go to wembley or did you turn your ticket down in protest at the way the club was run beating Chelsea and Man Utd, and the Mags 3-0 in the league The simply solution is to buy the club yourself or set up a consortium but in reality its not that simple is it but it is easy to snip away on a message board. Please don't respond I'm quite happy to have a debate about the state of the club with no agenda but you have one.

:lol: We should never question anything, be content with every poor decision and everyone that has an opinion that isn't your own has an agenda...got it. Agenda ffs :lol:
 
Don't see that Short has done much wrong in terms of backing his managers
