Apologies for not seeing it as that, it seemed like you were being serious.

This message board has been great for a long time but it's not so much these days. There aren't really any proper discussions anymore it's just people arguing and for whatever reason every thread is filled with posts slagging off the club and the owners. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, of course, but it's the same people over and over posting the same extreme views ruining the place. I don't feel like people take any pride in SAFC anymore. You can argue all you want that the owners have made mistakes because they have but I don't know when or why people's reaction turned from supporting the club to just slagging it off at any given opportunity. How have people decided that for example now is when they want to wrap in? For me, the days wondering if we'd ever get out of league one or the days of lowest points totals in the PL (twice) were far far worse than it is now.

You make some excellent points and I’m sure 99% of the posters on here have a love for the club in their heart. It’s an emotive issue and I’m sure people use this board as a medium to vent their frustrations.

Let’s hope for an announcement soon which can genuinely excite the fan base

That’s the biggest issue on here though. If you do voice your opinion and it differs from those for example broadly in support of the owner you are instantly labelled a bed wetter and the opposite applies if you think they’re doing a good job. People criticise and you label them as petulant toddlers for example.

The owner didn’t have to make a statement. - he hasn’t done so for ages so why the need on Friday? In doing so he has heaped yet more pressure on the recruitment team to make an appointment. If we don’t see a new head coach in place by midweek his statement makes him look pretty foolish.

Where do you get this claim that our fans are ‘getting a reputation from’ ? I’ve not seen or heard any mention anywhere on national media. In all honesty most clubs outside the premier league remain almost an irrelevance to the wider football world.

People will always look at things from a different perspective - and offer their views on message boards like this.

Your view might differ from mine but you’re perfectly entitled to hold it and share it on here.

Excellent post and very balanced.
The reality is that most media outlets and fans from other clubs are repeatedly questioning why our ownership group is taking so long to appoint someone.
There will be some national chuckling if the fools appoint someone who was available ages ago.
