I've been going since the 60s and have had a season ticket since the late 1980s. The club has had lots of ups and downs including administration when we shamefully failed to pay local contractors. The club is now in an existential crisis, we could face liquidation in League One and administration in the Championship after next season. What Vichai brought to the club was a sense of purpose, he led but he also served. Unfortunately Top does not have all of his father's qualities, his father would have sacked many of the football people years ago. IF Top were to recognise that he has to rid himself of his current DofF and recruit a team of specialist football admin people to run the club with him as a 'figurehead' and 'link to his father' I'd be content. If he won't he should sell it. Taking Andy King as an example, how many other people at the club have been but in positions of responsibility that they are struggling to cope with - essentially hung out to dry. The club needs - a manager NOW, TODAY - and competent football professionals above him to turn it around. We have wasted three league games in which a competent Championship manager might have salvaged at least 3 points (against Southampton). As for clapping the team during a game , yes I do that as I don't want to make it toxic for them while they are playing ... but I don't clap them off after the performances we have been turning in. We need CHANGE urgently and fans should be together as we all want the best for our club. Oh ... will I renew my season ticket, yes even in League One - because that is where we are undoubtedly heading. I have faith but not blind faith.
