It’s like the don’t sack McKay song, it was catchy and everyone loves a chant.
Danny Röhl done a good job at Sheff Wednesday since he arrived...
It's all a bit weird. Being a football supporter has definitely changed over the years. It's become a bit more Evangelical and less critical. I don't know whether social media has something to do with it or that younger fans are less engaged, less critical, blindingly optimistic or Coked out of their head. Maybe all four, who knows.
It's odd because not even that long ago we as a group of supporters wouldn't stand for crap, even if the player or players in question couldn't help being crap. We would hammer the team in the lower leagues and we had players who weren't getting paid much more than a postman. It's also translated into media, the press are as soft as shit, Hammam and Ridsdale were given a grilling for some of their antica and rightly so. Before that the Kumar Brothers etc.
Maybe society has changed, maybe people aren't so critical anymore, maybe expectations are lower. It sort of adds up, we do take whatever bone is thrown our way both politically and socially, maybe that has spilt over into recreation etc. Who knows? Or, maybe they just love Bulut and his brand of football. I don't think that we have the most knowledgeable of fans at city. That might sound shitty, but so be it.
Or maybe, just maybe, the majority of our fans were expecting a long hard season, fighting against relegation, considering the embargo, lack of quality signings, and lack of a decent squad. Proved by the fact, that even though we finished higher than the other 3 Welsh league clubs, we only had 1 player in the Welsh league team of the season.
The ones who travelled today, were probably glad that they weren’t fans of Brum, Plymouth, Blackburn and Sheff Weds, whose fans were all shiting themselves today.
Maybe, just maybe, the fans who travelled today, are a bit more optimistic than all the doom mongers on here, and think that next season Bulut will do even better.
You never know Bob. My point is, none of us expected big things this season, but we finished top half. Ok most of the football was not pretty on the eye to say the least, but with our recent managerial appointments, I’d be happy to give Bulut another season and see if the football improves. If it doesn’t, then move on.
It’s not is if we’ve been used to watching exhilarating football for the last 12 yrs or so.
I don’t know, but personally if it was up to me I wouldn’t give him any more than that at the moment.
If it was up to me, i’d want a long discussion with him, about his long term vision, plans, and style of football. If he delivered on all fronts, and at the end of next season, I could see his plans starting to bear fruition, I’d be willing to give him a longer contract.
If he wanted a longer contract right now, then I’d shake his hand, and tell him this is where we part company.
All that just seems a retort for the sake of it. We had two players in the Welsh league (Goutas & NG) as far as I remember. Grimes was the only Swansea player. Of course we're all glad that we weren't shitting ourselves. But I get really pissed off at being called a 'doom monger' for critiquing the shite that Bulut has served up this season and still people want to give him more time and money.
We just lost 5-2 to Rotherham. We've been abysmal at home (which is where the vast majority of fans spend their time and money). It's condescending to refer to critics as 'doom mongers' and doesn't add to the debate or discussion in a constructive way. It just sounds like 'superiority' or....maybe....delusional which segues into evangelical.
He will not produce a decent football side. The evidence was stark to day. The fist-pumping was embarrassing. The chants are embarrassing. How much more do fans want to see before they realise he's a charlatan?
