My take on it is exactly as I replied to you... those that pay to watch the crap we have been served have every right to disagree that we have done what we set out to do. Love it or hate it, I hate it, watching negative football, week in and week out, breaking new low records is not how you set about a season and those that speak out against it have every right to do so. Our - alleged - football is non sustainable. I'd rather watch us playing entertaining football in League Division Four than be dished up with the crap we have right now.
Where have I suggested you can’t express an opinion?

What you pay is irrelevant to me, it goes much deeper than that for me. I don’t like watching the shit we’ve served up recently but if you feel shortchanged you can always switch allegiances.

I haven't suggested otherwise, I am replying to your comment of us doing what we set out to do.

This always seems to be a stock answer, stop supporting your club. It's a rather a cheap and nasty reply.
What comment was that?

Your decision, but I repeat what you pay gives you absolutely no guarantees. You can”talk with your wallet” though.
Expecting better for what you pay is a shit argument...imo

I did not for one moment suggest I don't have the option, but as a paying fan we all have a right to a say.
‘Recent performances have been gash’
‘Recruitment has been poor’
Those comments aren’t an endorsement.

But this is a snide way of telling us to take what we have...
Why should we? Why are our budgets so low when we are a clearly more viable club than many others in this division? I don't buy into this budget crap.
How is that the case?
Our budget is low because we’ve just been promoted to the Premier League for the first time
In our history and Tony Bloom has made the decision that he thinks the club should be self sufficient at this level, which seems fair enough to me as he’s already put in £300 million.
Clubs who have been in the Premier League for more years than us have had a £100 million a year advantage, that’s why they have a budgetary head start.

That was last season, we are in our second season, why are you talking history?

Oh cheer up, for ****'s sake
Because you don’t recruit a 25 man squad in a single season and some players have come up through the club’s history

But this is our second season fella, it is not a single season!
I'm about to head off to the Emirates for another doomed trip given that my current awayday record in the last 2 years is LDLLLDLLLLDLLLWLL . So no, I'm not completely immune to the idea that currently its not all a bed of roses
The w was against palace. You have nothing to complain about
I’m aware it’s second season. If you think we can improve all 25 squad players in 3-4 transfer windows I guess we will just have to agree to disagree

I don't have a problem with our squad, they don't become shit overnight. I have a problem with the direction.
