We have to accept that only one man's decision counts in reality, and although the large majority disagree with his stance on the coach, he has earned the right by way of investment to make those decisions. No one accept Adam knows what factors are in the mix when finalising those decisions and I suspect the financial burden of the club is now having a major influence on them. Our owner has invested a lot of money, always been open and honest with us, has accepted past mistakes and has always had the clubs best interest at heart. As a fan base we can expect little more when you think of all the factors working against him at present. I think he and therefore the team deserves our backing all things considered.

I've seen the 'happy clappers' comment a few times, and other than about 10 people after the game on Friday (who I think were more clapping Paea personally rather than the team), I haven't seen anyone who's happy about what's happening.

I think it's more a default response to people who don't agree with their viewpoint.

We don't know whether AP is making decisions based on finance rather than what he knows is right/better. That not knowing means it's difficult to know what to do as a fan. Do you stop going and hasten the demise of the club or keep it going in the short term but end up making things worse in the longer term as the damage to the club increases incrementally? Ultimately although I moan and complain on here , at the KC and to anyone who'll listen , until I actually get to the ground and the game starts I still want to be there more than I don't - just.

I'm p***ed off and bored at the match, I'm p***ed off for the rest of the evening, when discussing it over the course of the rest of the week, or when I see pieces like today's from Pearson making excuses and appealing for more patience, and it makes me angry and resentful of the effort and money I've expended when I see the kind of performances typical of this and last season.

So it's a personal thing, but I'm no longer prepared to spend money on something that makes me miserable.
