Having just read that thread on their board then it does seem a lot more reasonable, with about the same amount of one-eyedness that we get on here.
They clearly have embarked on the same formula that gets most sides out of this division - throw lots of money at the team. Their problem is, as Villa are now finding, if it doesn't work then you can truly **** up your club for a long time.
Having gone that route once I cannot begin to put into words how much more connected I feel to the players Warnock has assembled this year, compared to the mercenaries who played for Cardiff in the Prem, but who I felt little or no care for. They were here for the money and ****ed off as soon as the grass was greener elsewhere.
The fact that at least 3 of our team this year have come here or stayed when the money on offer was better elsewhere makes me illogically happy and wanting to support the players more.
At the end of the season I'd expect Wolves to be more likely to be challenging for promotion than us but I never again want us to buy our way to promotion - it just leaves a bitter taste in the mouth and makes us fans just a sideshow to someone else's investment in their 'toy'. I'd rather not get there than do that again.
If VT is now making us nearly stand on our own two feet by limiting his support then I couldn't be happier if this atmosphere and sort of team is the outcome. Looking forward to Burton on Tuesday now and seeing how some of the other squad players perform.
