Am I alone in thinking things are going to turn pretty toxic very quickly this season if we dont get off to a good start? Seems like all the goodwill deservedly earned over the last 3 season has been drained over the last 12 months and anything negative gets 10 times the attention anything positive (like beating a French top division side 3-0 away) receives.
Maybe its just the usual internet vibe but boy do we need a good start to knock it on the head |  | | |  |

Yeah, agree completely.
Nothing worse than a rump who’d think only their opinion is valid, and post the same point over and over, and over, and can’t allow any deviation from their narrow view.
They’re like little fascists in echo chambers, just confirming their bias .., and shouting ‘Daasn’ a lot.
The ‘this is progress’ self preservation narrative hasn’t aged well, that’s not to say we won’t have a great season.
It’s just it was always a complete load of self preservation nonsense.
Our key players have all left or leaving, we haven’t planned for key roles we’ve known need replacing for 2 years, during which time we spent £150 million.
It’s hardly all doom and gloom, a huge amount to also be positive about….., but you might want to leave some room for critical thinking, and objective evaluation.
Because our own owners, have validated those issues raised, and we are up for sale, and selling £100 million of player inventory.
So as of tens is the case…., you didn’t have any balance or objectivity, just your need to control a narrative and be tribal and play the man not the issue.
Maybe start with an apology to all those people you attacked when they said all our best players would leave.
Delap, Cajuste, Hutchinson, Broadhead, Tuenzabe, Butgess, Morsy.
Will be fantastic to get Cajuste back if it happens, he’s a level above this league.
But that’s our best 5 or 6 players.
And we have 1 player who’s never kicked a competitive ball for us, for two key CDM roles…, after years of recruitment and hundreds of millions invested.
We could get 100 points, and get promoted doing hand stands, and that’s still AWFUL strategic planning, contingency, talent ID and not how to run a professional football club…, at any level.
It’s so poor.
But you don’t get it do you, you’d rather be wrong and try to get a thumbs up on a football forum, than understand any issue.
That’s where you differ from some of those you try to control.
Maybe the RY care more about the club, the issue, than your need for validation.
Ashton has been really poor the last 18 months, and KM is looking increasingly like a very talented coach, who lacks some of the skills to be an elite manager.
Just my opinion.
But if true, we can’t be elite without addressing the elephants in the room…, and elite isn’t EFL football, where I think you’d rather be facing Forest Green, than the difficult and frank conversations required, to be elite.
Our club is better than where are at this current time.
When the owners sell, hopefully we’ll get football people, that call out KM’s weaknesses and get him the support he needs, so if he wants to be on the pitch all the time, he can, and we can still do talent ID, strategic and contingency planning, at levels WAY above this mess.
Because no midfield in a squad this size, worths hundreds of millions is a string blue as to the challenges. |
McKenna presiding over a mess eh.
Lots of points one could make but you talk about Broadhead as if he has already gone, and also mention Morsy as one of our best players. He certainly was and we will miss his leadership, but Azor already looks an upgrade and we know from last season that Morsy's influence is less in the Prem than the Championship so getting a younger player in that role is progress. It would make zero sense to keep Morsy as we'd have to replace him in the summer if we went up anyway. |  |

Many of the demoted clubs start slowly, lots of player turn over, change of pace from prem, hangover from getting battered, it would not be a surprise if it happens to us.
Would be ridiculous if people did get angsty as the season is a long one and plenty of time to make up ground. |
Point of order. Teams are relegated, not demoted.
Demotion is an internal action within a hierarchical structure, generally impacting an individual while relegation is an organizational/league-level consequence for poor performance. |  | | |

I think there's just some frustration because we've discovered that players don't want to play for us because we're in the Championship, when we assumed they might come because we were initially favourites to go back up. Delap, Tuenzebe, Hutchinson, Hackney, Guiu, and now Azon. Maybe Cajuste will buck the trend.
As with all social media it will be carnage if we lose at Birmingham and the exact opposite if we win, despite there being 135 more points to play for. |  |

I suspect there may be 132 more points to play for, not 135 - the way Sheffield Wednesday are headed. Sadly. |  | | |
