More critical thinking.

The terminology used such as “critical thinking “ “conspiracy” simply has nothing to do with this post so can you just stick to the original thread and behave.

If you have a problem with the club DM Steve Borley on X

No wonder supporters are not joining the trust with people like you as members is there:xmashehe:

Isn’t an independent, critical thinking forelock tugger a contradiction in terms?

Being serious for a sec, can one of those defending the club explain why they think their response adequately deals with the points raised in the open letter?

Not at all just wondering why you’re bothered with it all as you were never watching City again :hehe:

Classic Gunman :hehe:

As far as I know Tan is still in charge, it must pickle your swede

I think Matt has explained it all

If we were top of the league 30 points clear, 2nd place would have a maximum of 24 points which, in the current table, would put them in 13th.

Matt didn't explain anything.

He did have two profound suggestions for anyone unhappy with the way the club (their club) is being managed - buy it for £60m or walk away!

He ignored the points in the fan letter as much as the club did with their very poor reply. Club strategy, communication and decision making are none of our business!

At least the attitude is clear.

I’ve provided you with a straightforward response to this line of questioning on a number of previous occasions. If a critical thinker like you is unable to absorb such basic information, I can’t be held responsible.

Maybe your mind is too full of complicated conspiracy theories to make room for such simple stuff?

It's a daft argument.

Of course we wouldn't complain if 30 points clear. That would suggest a well run successful club.

As opposed to a side in relegation trouble appointing novice or useless managers on repeat.

However it's clear we have a significant amount of fans either content or not bothered. So they will continue with the shit show.

It sure feels like one of "if you're not happy, bugger off".

indeed, apathy has led us to this point we find ourselves, as fans.

To continue the Tesco analogy, if the ready meal lasagne was tasty, you go back for another. If it had half a dead rat in it and used ferret spunk instead of bechamel, you'd be likely to complain or not go back to that store. Tesco would prefer the complaint and try and deal with it. Our club is saying don't complain.

Matt’s post doesn’t answer the particular question I asked any more than any you have posted do. We’ve seen plenty of gaslighting about how the supporters’ organisations did not follow “protocol” (by the way Enoch Mort made it sound like the club aren’t exactly blameless when it comes to ignoring protocol either), but their reply does not say anything else at all as far as I can see. So, Tan and co have ignored everything in the open letter and opted to tell the supporters groups off for not treating them with enough respect - is that a satisfactory way of doing things at a club in decline which is haemorrhaging support as it battles against relegation…..again.?

having used rather than fresh ferret spunk is unforgivable

You’re being silly now Loner Gunman , get back in line , and remember you’re a public servant and all opinions are welcome unless it’s ones you don’t agree with.

Imagine going through all that attention seeking stuff about never going again whilst Tan is in charge and whimpering back, bless

I don’t think they have ignored anything, as there is a scheduled meeting in the New Year in line with their own protocols.

I once purchased a microwave ratatouille and it had half a dead lasagne in it.

Ah.....

The club should realise that they've pissed everyone off big style yet again and that's why their nice little protocols are now being bypassed. Their response suggests that they're treating their relationship with fans groups as an opportunity to keep things under wraps, give a few stock responses and carry on ignoring supporters.

A better analogy than supermarkets would be drug dealers. They can cut your crack with any old shit but wtf are you going to do about it?

Well this board shows that a fair amount back them.

Elsewhere we still have a deluded minority who still are taken in that Sam Hamamm is the answer. Which is utter lunacy of course.

Apparently bid 100m. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

We are fecked unless we get a new owner or we fluke a genius manager.

Tan=a divided fan base

Tan=Club seen as a bit of a joke

Tan=club finances propped up (short-term survival)

Tan=zero understanding of running a football club

Tan=Inept senior management appointments

Tan=meddling in football decisions

Tan=Ongoing uncertainty over where this club is heading
