The sort of fan who ditches their support of the team after half a season of iffy football we can do without. Like all the morons who reckoned they would ditch them because they didn't like Pearson, and we'd had bad some really bad patches when he returned. If they were true to their word, they missed promotion and then the great escape. 

 

If it was season after season after season of absolute shit, then I get it. But what, half a dozen games or so? Screams of a bunch of drama queens making internet statements. 

I'll also add, if football was just about entertainment. Then frankly, I'd rather spend the money on something else that's far more value for money, or just pretend I support Barcelona or Man City. Rather than freezing my tits off watching a middle of the road team like Leicester. Which frankly means half the time you're going to be watching us play shit and lose.

 

You pay that money and there are no promises made about what might happen, or how entertaining it might be. You might get Holloway taking you to league one, you might get Ranieri winning the league. Never knowing what the fecks going to happen is half the drug that keeps dragging you back. 

 

Dones't make anyone a "better fan" or the like. But if you aren't just drawn in no matter what, just go and do something else and leave everyone else to it.

Isn’t it actually daft to?

Have people got nothing better to do than sit on a freezing cold Winter’s night and be utterly bored to tears? As you say, in this context ‘badge of honour’ equals ‘wtf?’

The club needs a bit of identity back. A bit of ooomph. We need to offload some of the utter crap we have bought over recent transfer windows and give the club some passion back. It’s gone so sterile.

 

Because we've done it for years? This might come as a shock but all of our managers have played boring football at some point. We didn't stop going when relegated to League One having scored 42 goals in 46 games, why would we throw a hissy fit right now?

 

And what if Puel goes early next season and the next man plays better football?

No problem to me. If you choose to freeze your nuts off whilst watching us have one shot on target, at home, then applauding your heroes off the field at the end, that’s your prerogative.

I’ll be sat at home in front of my log burner doing something else. I’ll even give you my badge of honour. For free. You can have it. Or at least after Babylon has used it first.

He said he's not been down all season... literally jacked it all in one season after we won the league. If your heart isn't in it any more, it's not. No problem with people just jacking it in, but acting like he's some sort of ****ing martyr taking a stand about things. Sigh.

Think you're argument is way too simplistic and has very little factual basis to be honest.

Ever heard the phrase rough with the smooth. If you can't be arsed you can't be arsed, no problem with that. But nobody has a sodding crystal ball, you think I was looking forward to a season with Ranieri in charge after a manager I really liked got sacked. I thought we were in for a torrid time, imagine if we'd all chucked it in then and not been around to see us win the league. 

 

We sign up knowing very well that it could be shit, it could be great or it could be... meh. But we do so because every now and again, this club manages to pull something truly incredible out of the bag and I'd hate to miss it. 

and, well, it's our club. 

 

Every football club has it's highs and lows. You should support your club through thick and thin. 

And most of all, certainly shouldn't be looked down upon like Col is doing because fans sit through the shite times as well!

They aren't ditching their support though, just not buying a season ticket, which is a fair bit of money to spend and if the football is going to be of a quality that makes watching paint dry exciting, then it is their choice if they want to commit to spending money to sit and be bored to tears.

I'd say there are a fair few on this site who do not shell out season after season but it does not make them any less a supporter.

Their money, their choice.

No one knows, think most people think he is staying now although i cant remember who it was i think @Albertsaid a couple of weeks ago he thinks he has no future but time will tell i guess. 

[Webbo]

Maybe the owners want a successor lined up before they pull the trigger?

Has Babs got special magic powers that make his posts just disappear or am I going mad? 

 

Could swear he posted a ‘loud noises’ meme and a response that said ‘K’ and they’ve both vanished. 

 

How do you do that?

Support. verb. "give assistance to, especially financially.". What assistance are they giving?

So let me get this straight, if you do not have a season ticket, you are not a supporter, are you slow or a troll?

not saying they're not a supporter, but if they choose not to buy a ST based on half a season, and not through financial reasons, are they less of a supporter than someone who is willing to sit through any manager, any players, any style of football?

They are a financially savvy supporter

As I've already said, their money, their choice and finances always comes into it otherwise they would just buy regardless and attend the odd glamour match.

I've known a guy who missed the title winning season due to not renewing because he thought we'd be relegated, you takes your chances

[Vardyyyyyy]

needs to go we don't suit his playing style and in the summer were gonna have to spend about 250M pounds.

 

 

 

 

                                                       TIME TO GO!

Be interesting to see if season ticket sales for next season hold up. Can see quite a few picking and choosing games if Puel stays. 

I’m giving mine up if Puel stays. 

[FantasticMrFox&Son]

With respect to all the Puel haters, BUT just remind yourselves of the last 20 years !!!

Are you serious, top-half finish in the Premier league, with the top 6 places already spoken for.

Get a grip. it's not the manager but the OLD GUARD that have let us down.

That’s exactly how I feel. 

 

Life is far too short.

 

If it can’t keep the interest and entertain wtf am I doing wasting my own time and money.

 

If Puel stays I go; I understand there are suckers to take my place and they will be welcome to it.
