Questions for Maynard

[SinceSept1959]

No it's toxicity. When it gets personal then it's toxic and it has become personal.

Any criticism is not nice but I'm afraid it is a possibility that any incumbent can expect when taking on such a position . Expectations and demands in the role are very high and particularly relevant at the timing of this appointment.
You must agree that results have not been good enough and in an occupation where a person is judged on results only brave or naive people would accept to drink from the potential poisoned chalice.
Agreed that there is a saying about the pen (or keyboard) being mightier than the sword.
Any fans that have been present at the games and not left immediately after the final whistle , will confirm that there has not been any abuse or toxicity directed at the bench or the players .
If you wish to compare ,there is an example of Scunny fans taking out their frustration on the players and staff after a
heavy 4-0 at Darlington this season.
Not a pleasant watch , I can assure you.

Several things here: 1. please explain why the original post isn't toxic (question 3 in particular)
2. Agreed results have not been good enough, but that does not give permission to abuse someone personally.
3. Why do we need to compare our behaviour with that of others? Both can be wrong. I was at Crawley, there absolutely was abuse directed at Cameron and SM, in particular. I had people on both sides of and behind me at the final whistle leaning over the barriers telling them to 'F*** off out of our club'. Some idiot wanted to fight anybody who thought Nemane should be on the field, and was happily abusing all and sundry throughout the second half. It was the most toxic that I have felt the atmosphere to be for a long time (and that was the word I used to describe the evening to my partner).
