    The judgement of who is a "plastic" is made by those who don't understand what it takes to make a club a global brand.
    why does footy neeed to be a global brand
    fotty is about passion and competeing and trying

    it aint a buisness
    most think it is
    but it isnt

    numties who see a football club as a brand have lost the connection to that club

    wont be long before you start saying we lost one and nil

    The grass roots has all but been destroyed with football and it needs to be clawed back before it is lost as a sport.

    It's almost like England are being taken over by other so called sports which are merely (what appears) choreographed buzzes for the bored elite and those with money to throw away.

    I think Tottenham are paving the way with their new stadium being used for American football and what not.
    Soon our national sport will end up being Baseball or American football or whatever, whilst the big nations advance with our football game.

    We'll all end up plastic, soon enough.

    Fair weather fans are those fans that support their club but only do so when everything appears to fit their comfort zone but who will still stick with that same club.

    Thick and thin supporters are those who will (if finances/geographical location/health permits) still support and be a full on fan no matter who or what is at the club or where that club is in terms of league standing or how they play.

    The right to be excited and to whine and moan is part and parcel of being a fan/supporter.

    Nobody has to go to every game to be a true fan or supporter but you do have to go to every game to be classed as a 100% true SPECTATOR of your club, home and away.
    How many can claim that?
    My guess is nobody.
    sometimes ghost you can astound people with your words of wisdom

    Toon legend, give it up. You should know better than to point out that Peterborough is changing his stance on something. He will be mighty cross with you and will call you names if your not careful. You know he,s a non entity with nothing but other people's quotes to spout. He would argue 1 day for more fish n chip shops and the next day he would demand to know why people think they can go about catching "his" fish from the north Sea.

    no he runs it as a buisness
    people seem to think he will throw his money at it

    he wont

    h all those that just want to see the best players in the best stadiums on the widest screens and get hung up on where we are in a league that players dont care for think its a buisness

    as a buisness man which ash is he has done excellent at the toon
    as a buisness man

    he hasnt had to gamble
    he has had all the free advertising
    he will still get his money back and more
    he has still takes wwages etc etc etc

    as a buisness man

    he runs it as a buisness
    when im judging him as abuisness man he is very very good

    and people can say if he spent more he could have earnt more
    thats not buisness
    thats gambling

    and people will say a certain part of buisness is a gamble

    but its a controlled gamble

    spending millions on players and hamstining yourself with huge wages hoping those players perform and the referees go your way and you get no injuries is not a controlled gamble
    hence why he has done so well
    as a buisness man

    i have said i dont like him as an owner
    but as a buisness man he is very good

    As a businessman he had us relegated twice in 10 seasons and nearly another five times. And a lower quality of squad almost season by season considering the quality players there was here 10 years ago.

    I would call that failure not success.

    There's more to it than what you're saying.

    Yes you are right . A lot more bad things. Bad decisions. Bad investments. I'm sure we could all go on and add.
