You could well be right and tbf the club isn't communicating well with the fan base.

Nothings well anywhere just now never mind football clubs. We just signed two new players and kept our best one. Just because TA deleted his twitter account doesent make a mountain out of a mole hill. Would have advised him not to go public in the first place like that nutter Donald Trump! Why do people in the public domain do such things? Infact why does anyone do it apart from attention seekers? Bonkers!
Wouldn’t be at all surprised if you were right. Rumour has it that MM threw a hissy fit when told the five ‘big’ signings he was promised could not all be accommodated at this time, almost certainly due to the lack of income which should have been generated from being back in the Premier League. This coincided with the sudden apparent drop of enthusiasm from the team in matches. Phukkin sad if true, all plans for our return to the top flight have been shredded by Covid, the owners don’t have a bottomless pit of cash so it’s only right concessions have to be made, I only hope everyone at the club, especially MM, are understanding of this. TA will most likely be the piggy in the middle, not a pleasant place to be at the best of times :(
Some folk seemed to take a dislike/not trust TA from the start, reasons often given he has no football experience, is fat, and is supposedly a Rangers fan. The first two you could align to a lot of our supporters. Also think in recent seasons Utd supporters have needed an outlet/target for their frustration since the snake left us in this mess we are still trying to recover from. Think a number of reasons for our current plight - Covid, court case, questionable recruitment, championship squad Robbie built. Don’t thinks it’s as simple as one thing or one person. Negativity definitely returning to support, I can feel it myself, no enthusiasm for sat. Maybe just as well no crowd! But my rallying call would be the same, get behind the team, we are in this together and just have to survive this season.
Excellent post, especially what you said about TA at the beginning. He's on a loser because he cant come out and defend himself by giving details on Twitter about confidential matters.
But the lack of regular official communication from the club to the fans has caused a vacuum where rumours start to grow.
A small example of this was with LS last night where some fans posted that he'd got injured when it was the complete opposite.
No updates on injuries, no statements from Mr Ogren, poor performances in some games and some bad results.
To be honest, if the club survives Covid financial meltdown and we stay in the Premier we should consider it a good season. Had it all not happened on top of the Hearts/Neilson debacle I think we could have reason to be critical of the club but I think some folks are unable to look at the big picture.
But you're right, some of our fans just don't like the guy, which is a pity.
