Afraid of Chives

Me... Every time I see him in the starting 11.

So did I! And I transferred out Murphy 2 weeks ago. 😬 Ho hum #I'm stillabettermanagerthanRuud

I would opt for the inevitable now. If, and it's a big IF we did stay up, The board would see it as a victory and 2 fingers up to the fans. They'd put a positive PR spin on it and most likely feel all the awful transfers and other decisions were justified, as they were instrumental in keeping us up. I want relegation as I wasn't looking forward to the current season one bit, knowing we absolutely didn't have the depth, or talent capable of keeping us up. I would rather take relegation, hopefully a complete reset and a chance for a future, as I hate the present.

Aside from the very obvious problems that are inherent within the club, one of the most telling things for me is the lack of leadership upon the pitch. I feel since the departure of Kasper, we lack a figurehead and without that, we just seem like 11 individuals playing with no cohesion, rather than 1 collective, playing in unison. I want them to show passion, and a determination to win games, but when you see players openly turning on one another on the pitch or through the medium of social media, that to me shows the Manager hasn't necessarily lost the respect in the dressing room, but the players have lost the respect of one another. I want my beloved team to put on the club shirt and put on a display worthy of that honour. Also it's galling when we can have either a good 1st half display, then play like Dog eggs in the 2nd half, or vice/versa. If we have it in us to play well in parts, why can't we bloody maintain that momentum? There's no consistency.

While I've been browsing this thread, an advert banner came up for an "Adopt a Donkey" one. I considered emailing the club to say I can't possibly take all 11...

I visited the Fanstore after work this afternoon. I didn't see any activity, other than a DPD van, so if he was in the back, maybe they'll do away with a press conference, and announce his appointment by throwing him over a wall into a neighbouring property 🤣

Sorry, I read that as "Needs sacking in January ". I was thinking "bloody hell! Give him a chance!"

Come on admit it. Who wouldn't love to see the Primark Elvis sign from Fulchester Utd FC? 😉
