Hello ........ Didn't know we had thread police! This isn't the thread for the Barbers haters to post their shite..........
So, who is thread policing now?

Fair play but......
With FFP looming and a £14m+ deficit in the last accounts?
Then the club have a made a monstrous misjudgment somewhere, they can't expect record season ticket sales, pie sales, shirt sales, pint sales and continue to serve shit on the pitch. I'm not expecting/demanding success but our attacking options don't even closely resemble an adequate championship set up. It will be disastrous if we drop into League One, a decent striker could stop that and I'm pretty sure the club would prefer that to 10,000 st's at the Amex in the division below

people Brought barber into the reason for our failure into this thread!. That's why.
Now , go to prison mate for two years.
Back to being Skint but on completely different level. The board have ****ed up big time. There is no getting away from it. Our house is too big and our budget too small.
9000 next season if we're lucky which will result in the club being in near collapse
I don't like Barber - perhaps he is fantastic at his job, perhaps he isn't - but regardless I resent this corporate, soulless "business" that our beloved football club has become since he has arrived.
"One club, one ambition" "be bold" - oh just **** off.
I was always under the impression that Bloom was a gambler
You're wrong then. He has made his millions by complex analysis of sport that gives punters (who have a lot of money) a very slight edge over the bookies. That's not gambling.
Gamblers are people like me that bet for a bit of fun, but are on the wrong side of the probability/odds equation, and we always lose in the long run.
Nope. As I said last week, no one would give a tuppeny fck about any of this corporate bollox if we were winning football matches. But we're not, so it looks ridiculous and comes across as money grabbing as if we're diverting efforts into areas that don't matter at the expense of what is going on, on the pitch where is DOES matter to ALL of us.I don't like Barber - perhaps he is fantastic at his job, perhaps he isn't - but regardless I resent this corporate, soulless "business" that our beloved football club has become since he has arrived.

WTF happened here? I didn't start this thread. I'm watching the 10 o'Clock news and having a beer.
Mods?
I moved the discussion from the match thread as it was derailing it and I rather enjoyed your post, so thought that would be a good place to start.

The mistake being made I think is that the club is insensitive to this. They should be lying low while results are poor. As far as I;m concerned, they can feel free to crank up the marketing machine and quickly, when we're doing well.
