    Apparently, our supporters have changed!

    They never used to winge and moan, always stayed loyal and supported the manager and board, no matter what happened. Errr really?

    39 years ago I first went to the Boleyn, it was a draw and the fans were moaning their co(ks off, and have done since, and will always do when they feel the team should be performing better.

    The only thing that has changed since then is the emergence of social forums.

    Some people accuse long standing true fans as 'fickle'...are you fkn sure?

    I get p1ssed off when posters accuse me of moaning about Alardyce. . . . . . . . . . .I'm not moaning, I'm c.unting him off and calling him sh1t.


    There's a difference.

    re: Apparently, our supporters have changed!

    I'm not going to hide and say that before this season started I backed our owners to the hilt as my posts from last season will tell anyone that cares to look.
    I argued with many people on here over Allardyce because I always backed him.

    Well now I've f ucking changed my mind. I've realised what a bunch of liars our owners really are and I have stated before that I will not step foot inside our ground or give that club another penny of my money until Allardyce is gone or as a matter of fact until they have all gone.

    And why would I do that someone is bound to ask ?
    I tell you why because it's my money and it's my choice and if I decide not to give it to the lying c unts that run our club then I damn well won't.

    Rant over. Did you like that ?

    Oh and for anyone that I argued with over them I hold my hands up and say I was wrong and I apologise

    That's about the gist of it.
    When Bobby was our captain and even Bonzo the ball would be in our box in the last few minutes bouncing around like a pinball machine and you knew it was going to go in. Walk up green St swearing that you would never go to another game to watch the useless f@#kers. Have a moan all week. Then start to get excited about the next game. Its not our club anymore but its still our team, always will be. That's what makes the other cashed up plastics jealous. Once a hammer always a hammer. COYI!!!!!!

    The Brum fans warned us how The Chuckle Brothers operate and so it has proved to be the case. They leak misinformation about so called big signings that come to nothing, it's as if these deals are deliberately scuppered. Add to the mix an inept manager and you have our club, destined for relegation.

    I don't buy that argument, they have put their money where their mouths are, the reason no one is coming is because we are not an attractive proposition or they are simply out bidding us.
    There is no benefit whatsoever to the Chairman if we are relegated, which I happen to believe wont happen.

    My main concern with the owners is their abysmal record with managers, not much else really. I can't see too many p1ssed off punters at present should the same funding gone to a Martinez, Laudrup or even Malky (who mixes the game up/is not as direct as SA) as the football quality and table position would be better. In my opinion.

    Window's not shut yet anyway but it's a real shame we are throwing more money at this Walrus (unt of a manager. Means a proper manager has more clearing out to do. In my opinion.

    Be happy we are one day closer to the Fat (unt going.
    It is what will be left is the real sad problem.
    I will never pay and never have paid to watch one of his teams play.
    Until he goes along with the Chuckle Bros, and half his sh1t players, we will never move forward properly. We are now years away, a lot further than when he took over.

    re: Apparently, our supporters have changed!

    Exactly how much of "Their own money " have they put in to the club , does anyone really know ?

    I thought most of it was 'high interest loans' , (lets not forget the clubs revenue & Tv money ). So how much has actually come from their pockets ?

    I'm sure what ever they have invested will see a more than triple in return.

    I'm not knocking them btw , but they could of gone about it all in a better way than they have done. I don't see anything they have done that keeps up our tradition or history . 'Well apart from the yo-yo part of it... They are here just like all the other players who come , "For their last big pay day" .

    I just don't believe that they are interested in moving us forward , it's all about getting in the OS as cheap as possible then maximising their profits . Thats fair enough , but just be honest about it & stop making out your trying to attract all these players , tell us once they have signed... IMO it just makes us all look like mugs when they don't hap

    Likewise I don't think deals are being deliberately scuppered. I think such persistent failure betrays a gaping chasm of operational competence that exists between ourselves and other, better run Premier League clubs.

    You only have to look at SuGo's record for the obvious proof.
