I see all the lickers are out browning their noses.
As Barber earns 40 times more than most of the street sweepers and binmen in this thread the proper response would be critical scrutiny not brainless worship.
Why critical scrutiny? As the club aren't involved in the arms trade, invading countries or harming children I think the opportunity for "critical scrutiny" is limited. I just sometimes think the club can't do right for doing wrong in people's eyes. Can you imagine trying to keep such a diverse bunch of people happy, you have real fans who occupy the boxes, you have real fans who are STHs, you have real fans who watch the club all over the country and you have others who enjoy coming to The Amex to watch a game of football. All of this diverse group have to have their needs catered for and to strike the correct balance is always going to be hard.
Equally the club need to create a sustainable business and to meet the needs of FFP, balancing that with creating a Championship winning side isn't easy as all too many clubs have proved and many more will fall foul of FFP.
Do I want the club to buy more players, yes I do, do I want to see great players and great football, yes I do but NOT at any cost, I just think we have to realise that and, afterall, it is TBs money, whichever way you look at it, if he has to go and get the money out I do feel he has the right to question spending it or to wait until the bargains come up as the window closing gets closer.
I love the club, but not more than my family and some of my friends, I so want us to get to The Premiership but would prefer World Peace and an end to suffering and I do feel the club is in good hands and we could have a far worse regime in place .... this isn't "brainless worship" it's a balanced view of how I see the situation, which will always differ from yours, I guess?
Here's to a great season of football, arguing with refs, moaning about pies and struggling to get on the trains after ..... Up The Albion!
