A fan base for all time.

Smaller than 20,000 perhaps but still sustainable.

It is also clear that the recruitment plan is to recruit internally-hence a greater importance on Youth and Development.

It is, as I have always maintained, a business.

It is a little bit about entertainment--but not that much.

Fans accept any sort of win and if its a tough, hard, game without much skill--who cares?

Shareholders are the main concern. Gone are the days of Directors chipping in the keep the club afloat or buy players.

Lone, Long GONE.

Its now about getting payback.

So we can all complain but it falls on totally deaf ears.

That is why we never hear about injury recovery players sought; transfer fees paid; transfer fees gained.

We are the proverbial little fan who pays his money and is told "wait and see what we will give you".

And its that sort of dismissal attitude from Management that will see them gone --eventually.
I agree Blue it is a business and that's it , im interested to see just how much of little money we have or have had or what's been taken out.

The truth is as many before have posted we simply failed to.prepare.
this season as they rightly publicised was to be our greatest in many years back in Europe, a seventh place finish another season in the best league in the world.

We failed to buy players , already had injuries , More games to play than previous season's.

I accept the building from the inside up but that is a long process and there are a lot of clubs trying the same process as us some of them with unlimited funds.

Imo this league doesn't lie and we get what we deserve so in the next seven games if we can't get enough points to stay in it we will have deserved to go down.

It's an interesting next few weeks and I have a feeling if we don't survive many will be having a bigger gripe than this.
