Mattyblue Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Why do posters still come out with guff like ‘agendas’. Different opinions on managers, executives, players, of course. But name and shame posters who’s ‘agenda’ isn’t wanting the best for the club... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of course they do, but I doubt they’re posters on the site as well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe some on here are so far down the anti-Mowbray rabbit hole that success would be uncomfortable for them. A handful, but I believe it to be the case. I won't name them because there is no point. It would just cause needless arguing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Don’t chuck a hand grenade in by throwing accusations around that posters have ‘agendas’ that want the club to fail but refuse to back it up.

Stop being silly. I can have an opinion without naming names. I wouldn't go as far as an "agenda" anyway. More that they have painted themselves into a corner and acknowledging success would mean a lot of back tracking. Some posters contribution amounts to a few lines here and there complaining. I have no idea what they would post about if things went well and we got promoted. More than likely onto critisizing the manager for us not being prepared for the Premier league.

Do you think it is ok to name other posters and say they are posting on behalf of the club - with nothing to back it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they don’t have agendas wanting the club to fail? Just don’t like being wrong? Well that’s just forums, look at some folk on the other side of the argument, they ‘can’t be bothered’ debating anymore when proven to be talking tripe.

What’s the problem? Two problems - nothing to back it up - and totally false about me. Are you saying people can post lies about other posters on the grounds that they can rebut ? Surely lies should not be tolerated full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only tangible success for this club is promotion or winning a trophy. If we fail to accomplish those things it isn't necessarily a failure, but it's not a success either. Come next summer, the table is reset and we have to start again. When Bowyer was here, people kept making the same excuses for him as they do with Mowbray. We're always one transfer window away from everything clicking but tomorrow never comes. All it takes is for Venky's to call in the debts, sell off our playing assets again, and we're looking at League One football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting into the play-offs would be success(particularly when you take Dacks injury into account). Being promoted would be even better I don't see anyone saying we are a transfer window away from things clicking. I think you are exaggerating about people blindly defending Mowbray no matter what. There are 1or 2, but most are fairly balanced I would say. A new manager wouldn't mean we would be proofed against any of the threats you mention.

Losing the playoffs doesn't leave us any better off. Whatever dude. Just wait for the summer transfer thread when everyone's speculating about "all we need" to become promotion contenders. Same thing with the Bowyerites. Too much blind optimism and wishful thinking when it was obvious he couldn't take us any further. Would a new manager have wasted £12m on two crap strikers, made short-term defensive signings, and dropped too many points against piddly teams? Maybe, maybe not but there's no denying Mowbray has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya and would they get us this close to the play offs? No guarantees. Clearly getting to the play offs would be success. I am sure if I asked you that at the begining of the season ,you would have agreed. "Whatever dude" ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) On the coach back from play off defeat. Gutted.

It all depends on when the question is asked. Would it have been seen as success before the season started? Have a look in the prediction thread and let me know what you think.

Amo Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 You talk about "close to the playoffs" like it's up there with 94/95. I guess you're never disappointed if you set the bar low enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
