This. And that is the managers fault. No-one else's.

If the manager and players were incapable of motivating themselves for todays game, with all its significance, its hard to see how they will manage a long hard promotion campaign.

This season is unfolding (unravelling ?) in an entirely predictable manner. Key issues were highlighted last season Pre-season preparation was a joke Pre-season transfer activity was a joke

Why, did he say "I have no Plan B and havent brought the right players in" ?

Doesnt seem much point in me posting. Looking at the thread, it seems finally quite a few people are getting message, though the obvious diehards are still clinging on. Not much longer now for AP, methinks..

And those that pointed this out were vehemently abused for their trouble.

I havent got a clue what they need, but it is schoolboys stuff to close down after going ahead. A free header ? FFS And all our confirmed transfer activity was strenghtening the f**king defence...

Oh, For F**ks Sake..... WTF is the matter with Saints at the moment ?

Is he related to Javier ?

So your WHOLE argument is "Lowe was criticised, so NC must be too" Wow. Compelling....

Exactly the point I've tried to make. The double standards are flabbergasting.

Its been made up.

Nobody on here has said NC hasnt made mistakes. Quite a few, however (yourself included) have jumped on him at every half-opportunity, for reasons completely unfathomable. What many of the rest have said is that his net impact on the club is beyond doubt far into the positive, and that the rest of you should therefore cut him some slack, especially as it is obvious he is suffering some emotional distress currently.

A pity you refuse to extend your opinions on "In X we Trust" and universal non-infallability to managers though. According to you, they should be stood alongside whatever they do.

Brauchen wir wirklich noch ein Gang für diesen Thema ?

Very good summary. WIFM

There is a report button there (having used it today), and in fairness certain Mods do answer me if I PM them. Stevegrant is very good at answering stuff. But on this I made a genuine attempt to find the right place on the forum to post this issue. I have done this in the past on other issues, and everytime I get a complaining response from a Mod about why I started a thread rather than PM'ed it. Interestingly, every time a Mod has complained in such a case, they havent then been particularly inclined to carry on the discussion by PM anyway...

This.

This. However, on the flip side of the coin, if we dont address those three player requirements I think that promotion will be too long a stretch.

I never claimed it was exclusively about me. However, I find the idea of a blog you have set up exclusively to take the p*ss out of fellow posters whose comments that you dont approve of as distasteful, sad, and quite pathetic. You seem to have the need to draw attention to yourself at the moment; I hope whatever is causing it resolves itself for your sake.

Not biting.

Agree with you. I think on this occasion Weston Saint was being a little on the negative side. I read NCs statement and saw no indication that the financial support has come to an abrupt halt.

Becuase there is a section called "Forum Suggestions". I thought it was for disciussing the nature of the forum. And yes, I reported it too.
