Out of the last six or seven managers we have signed I only wanted one and he was a complete disaster. We now have the same fans and a few posters who wanted Poch and EM sacked now wanting LR sacked. The club is NOT going to make every fan happy with players or managers it signs.
It is also NOT going to make every fan happy about players it sells or managers it sacks. Fans' personal preferences on comings and goings are not taken into consideration when these decisions are made. Just support the "club" and stop dishing out personal insults.

Tom
Have I missed something here? I have not seen personal insults recently.

Bill, that is not the main point of my post, but yes, you have missed some personal abuse.

Tom, supporting the club doesn't mean you have to support owners, SDs, coaches or players. This is a banter site and posters are entitled to express their opinions.

I agree with Jimbo, the site is all about banter and having an opinion, Tom.
As far as the last 8 managers go, I was in favour of Conte, TT, Lamps and Maresca. I was against Sarri, Potter, Pochetino and Liam, so I guess I'm a 50:50.

Jimbo, I certainly do not hold back on my criticism of players, managers, SD's or owners. My main point is it's impossible to make all the fans happy about a player, manager or SD appointment.
Let me also make it clear I have no problems with criticism. I do have a problem with personal criticism but that's up to the Ed's to edit. I will also acknowledge that what I consider to be "personal" others may not.

I have read Tom's posts long before I started posting.
I would say Tom does criticise when he thinks it's needed, but also, unlike some of us, he likes to give things more time to see if situations can change. If they don't, he calls it out.

Bill, that is spot on mate.
I also try and call out what "I consider" to be personal abuse. I just don't see the need for it, but each to their own.
