Ah but if only that were true Duke. At the start of the season the results were poor, but we had a newly promoted team full of promising youngsters, there was hope, indeed belief that once those youngsters gained a bit of experience at the higher level, and if manager could add some quality, we could have a decent season. That belief proved well founded, and on we kicked.
Thanks to JB that's nothing like the present situation. He's pulled the plug once too often, and as Beligian describes its taken some doing!!
The best youngsters have departed, along with what quality that was added, and there is a feeling that even if the next crop of youngsters make the grade they will be flogged off as well, so the potential to actually build a team of quality is never realised. Also we have of course lost the manager who did so well to develop those players. JB has shown his hand, he even then went in the press and bragged about it, the whole thing is just feels like a massive kick in the balls.
Reading the thoughts of the fans who spent their hard-earned to go to the latest non-event makes me feel sick. We're talking about passionate, dyed in the wode supporters here, who've followed the team through many a black time.
I admire anyone who can be optimistic about the future while JB is at the helm, I wish he would just come to the realisation that he's made his millions, but this time he has been well and truely found out. Instead of the usual BS act like he attempted this week, why doesn't he just declare at the current level (£5-10 million anyone?) and allow this football club, that has made him a very rich man, to have its life back.
