We ALL care about SFC. We nearly went out of business a year ago. NC and ML have put serious moolah into the club, and the mewling and puking on here becaus fans are being asked to dig a little deeper to match their support a little is nauseating. Before I get slagged off, I'd like to point out that I have put more than 200quid in the last month via merchandise purchasing, into the clubs coffers.

Reporting it for what ? Its a genuine question to the mods, and the rest of us can avoid it. "Mummy, mummy, beastly Alpy criticised me...."

We are supposed to be (re-)building a "winning mentality". If we cannot even beat a team we were giving charity hand-outs to a few years ago in the form of friendlies, FFS.........

What does "upbuilding" mean ?

I tell you what, my lack of belief in AP is viewed as persistently negative and demotivating. WTF do think this saturation bombardment of our chairman is doing, FFS ? Its utterly relentless, and is diverting attention from the real issue troubling the club.

Getting bored with the hijacking of this site by agenda-driven bandwagon-jumpers who would prefer to see the club struggling financially and battling against relegation every season....

I believe you. Nevertheless, the lynch mob/inquisition/bandwagon grows with every post from a small group of agenda-driven posters.

Hardly surprising; it means after all the hype, the club is p*ssing its renaissance / rebirth up against a wall........

I dont think so, reckon we will have a clearer picture by 5pm on Saturday though.

Nope, this has always looked like a long, hard slog of a season to me. Saturday's result has made it look a lot harder though. Its raised serious questions about our transfer policy, squad depth and our lack of tactial nous.

I think for one moment we should put aside our reaction to Saturday and think a little more about NCs reaction. If he has decided that AP has no long-term future at SFC, it maybe that our transfer activity for this summer is already over. If his #1 target is still promotion, I would suggest AP will be shown the door in the next week, possibly after the MK Dons game, in order to give the new manager a couple of weeks in the transfer market.

This "Its only one game FFS" comment is get oh-so worn out. We spent 2 MONTHS getting ready for this game, and were supposed to have prepared in such a manner as to hit the ground running. We were toothless up front, and demonstrated a complete lack of cover for RLs injury. We are clearly a one-man or two-man team. We had no Plan B for after we went behind. The team is in trouble; I wish people would look beyond the pretty but ineffectual stuff of the first half...

Yep, the stiches are unravelling....

That sounds a bit rude...

He shouldnt have started a new thread, agreed. But to describe his thoughts as "bollix" is a bit OTT.

Why is it inane ? If O'Neill wants a quick return to football, is interested in the challenge, and NC has grave doubts about AP, why shouldnt we go for it ?

Please elaborate.

Yes please.

In fairness, I agree with everything you wrote re AP and NC, but its been written on so many threads now.

So the "winning mentality" (tm AP) is not important this season ??

Wow, yet another fred....

Is this comment really necessary ? I reckon O'Neill is a better manager. Deal with it.

O'Neill by a long, long way.

This. Fed up with the winsome banal platitiudes.
