MC Prussian Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 I'm certainly less intrigued by the new season than in previous years, but nowhere near the bottom of belief some Leicester fans are finding themselves at the moment. Pre-season has been unspectacular, one signing, clearing out the deadwood, saving wages, trying to get the act together for the foreseeable future - all very somewhat mundane elements. My hope is that this season will lay the foundations for something big or bigger or at least a healthier existence. Here's to the new season.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 Sometimes what you see as negative talk may just be in actual fact, harsh reality. Personally I try and say it as it as. If that comes across as negative then then I'd like to think we've not played well as I generally like to try and stay positive. Maybe some people just have a negative nature. Last season is done with now, history. Lets just get behind the lads in hope of a better season. ThisSounds about right Bert Come on you Foxes

MC Prussian Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 Too much? Sorry. After all these years I've gotten used to your old self - I guess I simply can't handle it, it's too much!
Captain... Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 I think terming it negativity is where the problem lies. Wanting the best for the club should be seen as a positive thing and knowing we are treading water for another season but having the brains/guts to admit it should be seen as positive. Think of it like the French resistance........many in France followed the Nazis for an easy life and because it seemed like there was no way out but a few dared to dream. I am one of those dreamers......one mans negativity is another mans dream of freedom and a brighter future. One day you will all believe But how do you "know" we are treading water? We improved our position from the previous season, which suggests we are making progress and not treading water, we have not lost any of the squad that got us to the top of the table last season, and only one loanee from the team that got us second. I am not reading anything into a defeat in a friendly to Monaco with the likes of Falcao and Moutinho playing for them. Now when we are languishing in 12th at Christmas, then you can say we are treading water, or going backwards, but until the start of the season how can you say that you "realists" "know" that we are treading water. Yes we have only made one fairly uninspiring signing, but we have made a tactical change to 532, which is not treading water, and we have a lot of young players that now have a full season under their belt and a full pre-season together. Finally the transfer window isn't shut and we will most likely be looking at picking up some free transfers and some loans after we assess the squad after the first few games. This is what I don't understand it is the certainty in the impending failure this season will be by some posters who should know better, there is only one thing certain in the championship and that is that anyone can go up and anyone can be relegated and that is never more true than before the season starts.
Bayfox Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 this time last year i was really looking foward to the season. pearson had time to mould his squad, a full pre season with deals done early. and it started oh so brightly. then it started to go a bit tits up. but when we sneaked into the play-offs i was convinced it was going to end in a positive manner. after that 1st leg i just couldnt see them scoring 3. although i am over what happenend. i think it has created a flat atmosphere around the whole club and despite the good young players we have. i think we all expected a little adding to the squad. it would now seem thanks to sven and ffp pearson is now putting all the eggs in the players having played a year together and having that years more expierence. and for me that is underwhelming. i fear if we get beat a few times early on we will struggle. i think we have a big mental hangover to shift. svens spend really is a shame now as jay spearing would be a cracking addition yet we just dont have a way of doing such a deal.
buzzy Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 Where do you live? i live in the real world most of you live in moo moo land where there is no war where snow white is queen of england and nigel pearson as just won his 6th premiership title and is being knighted
Fox4ever76 Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 its reality...positivity & negativity..ur going to get it whatever..whenever & wherever its life deal with it ffs 😒

It's just how I feel - moving forward a couple of places a season but still being in Div 2 is treading water to me. Wanting us to do well and believing we will can be different things you know. I am hoping our manager has learnt something from our worst run in 10 years as well as from getting us to the top briefly. I question why he couldn't arrest the decline for so long but hey, its a new season, he has his second close season under his belt, I wonder whose fault it will be if he can't cut it for the 5th season in a row.......3 wins from the first 4 games and I'll be happy
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 Negativity is not something that is desirable, but it exists in all walks of life. It is produced on this forum, as a result of lack of faith, in the ability of people, within certain quarters of this club, . It should not be condemned as something which some of us conjure out of thin air, to annoy those who feel more confident .It could also, however, prove to be the better option than over confidence. Perhaps I should start a thread entitled, "What Do People Get By Being Confident". We who are not confident, will not be too shocked by another flawed season, but those who expect the opposite will be more deeply affected. If we have a good season, then we will all be over the moon, more so, those of us who are not expecting it. So is being negative really such a bad thing, after all?

DT, do you not think people weaken their argument when they result to childish name calling of the manager. Or when they go so overboard on critisism, such as saying he's "one of the worst managers we have ever had". Or when people grasp any rumour to slate the manager at any opportunity. I can't remember anyone ever really being moaned at for being "negative" or "anti Pearson" or a "Pearson Hater" if they have just said, you know what I don't think he's good enough to get us promoted. It's usually the stuff listed above that provokes a reaction as people feel they are being a bit unfair.
whitwickfox Posted 30 July 2013 Posted 30 July 2013 The definition of negativity is those who don't agree that Pearson is the best thing since sliced bread

There is a certain element who despise anyone who is negative to NP in any shape or form, and also throw personal insults because of their beliefs . All pretty much a waste of time by both factions. I hope we have reached the point of close season madness, and should all just see where we stand at Xmas. Time to call a truce for the time being, and stop the mud slinging.. We must never forget that the club is always more important than one individual, and it is the club which should be first and foremost in our minds. I feel negative, but I hope so much that my personal thoughts are proved wrong.

paulsherwood1 Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 The definition of negativity is those who don't agree that Pearson is the best thing since sliced bread Spot on! It seems that unless you blindly follow him then you are 'negative'.
Corky Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 The definition of negativity is those who don't agree that Pearson is the best thing since sliced bread No-one actually believes that Pearson is the best thing since sliced bread. I've seen more people call him shit than great on here.
Babylon Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Spot on! It seems that unless you blindly follow him then you are 'negative'. Garbage.
Blueforever Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 What do people get out of their negativity? A smug feeling of 'I told you so' at the end of the season!

MC Prussian Posted 31 July 2013 Posted 31 July 2013 Almost converted. Not really, I've always maintained the same stance with regards to the new season, so nothing new there.
