Sad to say but i think Adam Pearson needs to try and find a new owner with a bit more financial muscle so we have a clean sweep at the top which in my opinion has gone stale.
Hoping that Tony Smith can turn around a sinkling ship with the cash restraints he seems to be under,or that we find a couple of gems from the reserves/academy is just wishful thinking.
You have to think who will be the first to go Smith or Pearson
Your continued anti FC is getting boring. Here you are again sprouting off after a defeat. Funny we never here from you after a win. You post nothing on the Scott Taylor thread? Negativity man himself.

so boring you are always the first to jump on my posts.
You are a stalker you sad little man and by the way its hear not here.
Even your emoji mates now find you tedious.
Why would i post something on the Scott Taylor thread?
Is it mandatory in your small world?

No just fed up or your anti FC stance. Plus S Taylor was a great club servant and thought you might have wanted to comment on that. But no that's not your style is it. A keyboard warrior who probably never goes and never will. Complains about anything and everything.

I don’t want to upset the wokeflakes on here but there seems to be in an built
acceptance of mediocrity across the whole club.
AP is the constant here - I’ve always admired AP for his help at the club and he’s suffered more than any of us has.
He’s the CEO and we’re not performing and he has to take the rap.
If we were a listed company he’d have resigned by 2019.

Then we’ve had abysmal coaches.

I like TS and I fully support his clear out.

The whole Club and many on this board just accept ‘doing ok’
There were so many who refused to have a word said about LR , who was shocking as a coach. We won 2 CCs despite him not because of him.

We need a revolution in Culture - I would argue that the cancer McCrae talked about never really left us and that cancer is ‘small thinking’ - accepting losing as a regular part of the job






I have lost interest

Having someone with a bit more financial muscle doesn’t guarantee success….look at Salford in koucash…left them in crap street,why is it wishful thinking about gems from the academy??…licensing with help teams with younger players as it takes away the pressure of relegation,that’s where saints started to build where they are now on the last lot of licensing but doesn’t really matter what people post..you always find a negative.

Like this idea of using New Order song titles for topic headings.

Maybe we could use “Thieves like us” for a topic about Dobbins supporters, “Touched by the hand of God” for a Knocker Norton thread and “True Faith” for when season passes are available.

The Salford home game thread could have been called “Procession”

I’ll get my coat…..

Not one true supporter accepts a “doing ok” attitude but we’re supporters, we buy passes and shirts and travel to away games, it’s what supporters do. What we don’t do is start riots in the streets and set fire to buildings, that’s what people do when life is a frustration and the need for change and resort to revolution. We as supporters grumble but occasionally have ecstatic days, as in 2016/17. To listen to you spouting your vitriol, someone might believe you had a vested interest. One match in 5 years doesn’t make you a supporter and even less an expert on all things FC. Yes AP has to take some of the blame but I’m glad he’s not as fickle as you and others who call themselves supporters.

I'm gonna give you "Round and Round" because,
a) it appears the perpetual state of our club and what we have to suffer as a fanbase, like it or not.
b) it's a mighty fine track.

Saw New Order at Tower in 81/82, around the time they released Movement. It was one of the worst gigs I have ever seen in my whole life (and I've stood and watched a few dodgy bands in my time). They were in one of their we-can't-be-bothered-tonight moods. Peter Hook stood with his back to the audience for most of the (short) set.

Conversely, at Manchester Gmex in 1986, they produced a sky-scraping set which painted the heavens, concluding with a version of Temptation which threatened to raze the arena to the ground. I still recall walking out utterly stunned at the power and majesty of what I had just witnessed :)

That was the thing with New Order, you never quite knew what mood they would be in (archetypal contrary Mancs!!) or what they were about to serve up for your night's entertainment. You paid your money and you took your chance with them!

Any comparisons made between one of the UK's finest ever individualistic bands and a certain RL club not a million miles from here, is purely coincidental, but sometimes like souls find each other.

One thing's for sure, today is definitely a 'Blue Monday' for the faithful on here :(
And, on that pre-programmed note, I'll get my coat as well :oops: :oops: :oops:






I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.

I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.
