What is wrong with people?

I don't think anything is wrong with people.

Every single year we are sold hope. Why are people getting their knickers in a twist this year and not any other year? Is that because for once they might not have been lying?

I just think they are perhaps detecting this at a whole new level, and that perhaps they have reached their fill!

Like I wrote earlier, if fans started off from the point of cynicism they probably aren't feeling the hurt now, that doesn't mean they didn't sign on, it's just that they support without the need to be spun! They have accepted there is no rainbow or pot of gold, but there is a journey that they can chose to join.

I've little sympathy for those who know or knew better but chose to believe the spin as a justification to sign on, they have no right to point the finger now just because they feel they need someone to blame for "wasting their money!" A membership is in one aspect showing support for a club, but in another perspective it's also a bet. Many are feeling punters regret!

No club has ever come out and said... this year we are f@#ked, so don't bother, come back next year.

What is the relevance of debating fan perceptions with fantasy accusation. What the fans think is what the fans think, it's not a postulate, if you want to go down the corporate commercial path then you have to accept market/customer is always right!
