Fox’s statement at the beginning of the window that we wld come out stronger has added to the emerging discontent. From that we were led to believe that new faces wld be coming in and some possibly moved on.
I don’t blame Fox for this. He may have been giving some guarantees at the start of the window which clearly didn’t come to fruition. So has something changed during this period or was he just giving empty promises. Either way the whole situation has left a bad taste in many fans mouths and unless TA can pull some gems out the bag at this late stage. We cld be heading back to the dark times of not too distant past.
The fans were already seething after dry January.
As luck would have it the very next day we're due to play Killie away, an eminently winable 6-pointer.
A loss there on the back of dry January just did not bear thinking about.
Going ahead with the 25th minute penalty might have changed the whole dynamic of the game & bought the DoS a ceasefire.
He'll be praying the rest of the month goes better & if it does we'll not be speaking about him so much.
You are only as good as your last game.
I don’t like being negative about United, always tend to dwell on the more positive side, however speaking personally to many Arabs and reading online on various sources I really think THEY have lost fan support and understanding with recent events over the season.
Over 6 k season tickets and astounding support all season from the Arabs and this is how it’s rewarded.
Not feking good enough.
We need to start to get results, simple as that. If that happens, very few folk care about anything else.
Yip..totally agree TTT. Football is and always will be a results driven business. What we have done, though, has made getting results more difficult! That transfer window looks like it has been an act of self harm. The club really needs to put someone (Asghar) in front of the camera, to explain what has happened. The last thing we need is for protests, disgruntled fans etc but we are heading straight for that! The fans ARE the club and communication is key to getting things back on track. The next couple of months are ***** for the survival of this club and someone at the club needs to try and patch things up with the fans and it needs to be done quickly! We have to somehow try and make what we have, work until the end of this season...and then it is time for a review! If the fans aren't being listened to, then things are going to snowball very quickly. TA has to do something about it right now. He needs to come clean about what is going on before it is too late because the grumbles are only going to get louder!
If I were you guys I'd prepare for more disappointment then. It's hard to imagine anyone from the club coming out and telling us why we didn't sign anyone in the transfer window. Primarily because the actual answer may well be worse than not knowing...
Also noticed this week that Fox has not been on STV sports news on Thursday to talk about the defeat or tonight to talk about tomorrow’s game. Maybe avoid any tricky questions regarding TA out banners and poor window.
