Wyn, I agree with much of what you say. We know the problems the club has with finances, attendacies and facilities etc. These facts have been well documented on this forum and elswhere. We'll struggle to move on whilst we're always trying keep our head above water. Hey, its taken 40+ years to get back in the league. In the mean time I'm a football supporter and football supporters don't just stand there with buttoned lips. When they see their team losing they tend to shout and holler. If they think the manager's got it wrong, they'll shout and holler at him too. When we lost against
Bradford with 10mins to go, I didn't go home thinking 'well we've got no money or a decent ground and facilities'.....no, I'm thinking '---- we've lost a game we could and should have won'
I've never said that Coley should be replaced, in fact, right now that would probably open another can of worms, but nobody is right all the time, football genius or not. He's done some great things for the club but nobody is that infallible. (If you were to ask him, he's probably embarrassed by the 'football genius' thing anyway)
Macca of the 'old skool' talks of moaners and newcomers. All sounds a bit elitist to me but if moaning is having independant thoughts and expressing them, then I'm a moaner. This is a forum, after all. As for newcomers, I was around in '62, does that absolve me?
