Social media has given fans unprecedented access to communication with Football Clubs very quickly and i dont think most clubs are fully prepared for it.
no club is beyond criticism but some of the things i have seen on twitter isnt criticism its abuse i have no problem in the club blocking them from twitter, blocking other fans though seems out of order.
Social media also seems to have taken away a great amount of patience, the nature of the game has changed and changed dramatically the blame for this falls squarely at the door of the premier league and the ridiculous TV deals, lets not forge this is only towns 3rd season back in the championship and almost half the other teams are still receiving parachute payments giving them at least a 10 million leg up on everyone else. some fans had unrealistic expectations of how town were going to perform part of that is the clubs fault for talking the team up so much but a large part of it is the fans just not understanding whats happening in the game right now
the team is going to be a mid table club for a long time, but i think we are moving in the right direction albeit slowly , but thats ok with me , Rome wasnt built in a day, but it was destroyed in a pretty busy afternoon. there are some teams who are throwing everything but the kitchen sink to get to the premier league and some silly money is being spent on slightly above average players, pretty soon the whole thing will implode and some decent sized clubs will find themselves in dire straights , we've already seen it with the likes of Coventry and Portsmouth and to some extent leeds and Bradford.
everyone both Club and fans need to think a little more before they speak
