I said so many people feed on negativity but feel free to misquote me.

What? You'll have to explain how that is misquoting you.

If you can't see that a lot of posters feed on negativity on this board then frankly I am quite surprised Elite.

I see an absolutely typical football messageboard. Some are nearly always negative, some are nearly always positive, most fall in between. All this "feeding on negativity" seems a bit dramatic to me, especially on this thread.

I see it as a rational and worthwhile discussion.

I think everyone's entitled to their opinions, however dark and pessimistic. Unfortunately, as we're all Notts fans, I suspect we all have a fear that the wheel is bound to fall off in some spectacularly disappointing and embarrassing way and that we'll have to get the collection buckets out...again. Hopefully this time that is a misplaced fear but it doesn't hurt to be cautious!

I can barely remember when it was last safe to not be fearful; the years under Dunnett. The despair of the 1960's had been shaken off and for more than a decade we had steady improvement reaching the top flight in a fairly stable and settled situation.

The years after that, including the rollercoaster Pavis/Warnock era, taught me to expect the worst despite the occasional elations. But nothing the Reedtz Bros have done has gone near setting alarm bells off. No rash promises, no knee-jerk reactions and steady improvements in nearly all areas and hopefully at least matching the efforts of Jason Turner.

When was the last time we had 4 years of consecutive nightmare/drama avoiding seasons?

Agree 100%

We've never previously been in a division where two thirds of the clubs average less than half of our own gates (as low as a quarter in some cases), some of them semi-pro and many only relatively recently going full-time.
The time for making comparison starts now, with this coming season.

I couldn't see a misquote, and boy do I know what a misquote looks like lol

We can only judge the owners on what we’ve seen and that has to be a positive view. On the pitch they have invested intelligently and also avoided the situation of having bloated squads which is financially no good and squad morale no good. Off the pitch they have invested and now we have proper foundations in place to go forward.

I would be interested if it’s not been disproved or explained in this thread would be the comments “their not what they seem”, the redundancy bit doesn’t worry me at all, businesses restructure all the time.

As countygump said only recently "Some people just see what they wanna see."

QLD is right. Negativity is the staple NCM diet, the traditional tapas of this board for the more pessimistic of fans. You have got to be incredibly blinkered to have missed it. Or intentionally ignore.

Without those so called negative post that you feed off, we would never see you again on this board..

I'm not trying to stir the pot here, but it's extremely worrying that the brothers have made many staff redundant. A couple of people have said the brothers aren't what they seem, and 'When the truth comes out Notts are in big trouble' apparently they have been trying to force their staff to accept a wage cut for months...

What a load of bo11ocks!

You could very well be right but let's just say I ain't going to hold my breath with durhampie and co around

"So called..."????

Don't let anyone ever say you don't have a sense of humour

Nine pages of debate on this thread and Big Bob nails it in one sentence
