What's most depressing about being a Town fan, for me anyway, is not the style of football, the lack of wins, the selling of the players. No, it's the bloody negativeness of my fellow Town supporters.
Town to win 5-0
How utterly, utterly correct. Its early September and the season has yet to unfold. Believe me the club is in better shape in an unfair, over moneyed world than it has EVER been. I think we will prevail this season and some of the criticism of the academy is misplaced. Hoyle has revamped our club in a very positive way but I, for one, can accept that his life's edeavours should not be squandered on flinging cash at the club. It's fashionable to take the mick out of the academy system but I think there's more to ours than meets the eye. Long term planning, hence loans. It will be nervy - but so was last season.
It's significant that this board has 'gone to sleep' since an indifferent start to the season [CF last season which was a DIRE start] and the same thing happened last season after eg. the home Fulham result. Powell's doing his best and he's a good footballing man. We aren't a big money club and that's a fact and, to be quite honest, I'm glad of it. Let's wait and see - or are we all trapped in the ratchet of the 'transfer window.?'
Returning to Snooty's original and very valid point about negativity I notice that Yorkshire have won back to back County Championship titles. "All bloody well and good, but what about the previous years. sack the board, coach, turnstile attendants, programme sellers ...don't know what the bloody world's coming to! Not bloody good enough"
Why has there never been a consistently significant Yorkshire team at the top level...I wonder?
