Why would any player want to move here
- Thread starter Presto
- Start date
Every supporter wants success, there fore by definition, nearly all will be disappointed to differing levels.
At the end of the day we have 4 professional leagues, therefore only 4 teams can be winners.
There is a League Cup
FA Cup
JP Trophy
Play-Offs - 3 teams can win
So a maximum of 10 teams are going to be WINNERS therefore 82 Clubs fail to win something.
Obviously some supporters dont expect their club to win anything and are happy to achieve varying levels of position in their leagues.
To some surviving is a 'winning' season.
But overall the majority of supporters will not be satisfied with their Club, be it for final position in the league or style of play.
Of course to some, scrapping into the play-offs is success
It is all releative to how a supporter percieves his/her Club.

A bit of an insult to those who use Matalan which, as I recall, includes our team during its time in the Championship.

I hope you didn't vote either.
I mean, you're not involved in politics.
I'm glad Mick Jones is still our manager - I mean, he's a professional, so therefore he's the best guy for the job, right? And Andre Blackman at left-back too - I mean, you can't criticise him, he's a professional footballer, obviously he knows more about how to play than you do. All those things you think are huge, catastrophic, inexplicable mistakes are actually just part of the professional way of doing things, we mere mortals could never understand.

I agree and surely the commitment has to start with the manager but for me it's half hearted to say the least!
Do you mean the fans who kept the club going and forced out rotten snakes such as Ridsdale and his mate Heany? Do you also mean the fans who got behind their team when 0-3 down to Wycombe and spurred the players on to give us a bit more hope? There won't be many clubs in this league with fans as good as ours. If anything we should be part of the reason why a player would want to sign for us!
Hahaha you actually think players care if the supporters/fans like them? No cares are given. As long as that money is in their account come the end of the month, it's all smiles. It's all about the money. :shh:

A insult wellpdeserved. Seeing the players in Matalan always validated that (Raymond Chandler?) line: 'she was all over him like a cheap suit' :lol:
Our fans are second to none and we have two-thirds of a very good ground at this level... With players coming from a higher level, though, I could see how, in every other regard, the club is more than a little tinpot.

Agreed. The lack of any kind of decent training ground, academy, gym, press facilities etc is more than a bit concerning. There doesn't seem to be any foundation.

Correct.
Look at Bury, investing in their side sensibly, investing in their youth sensibly, securing the use of Carrington which is a remarkable training facility, they are laying foundations for a better future.
We just look a bit tinpot at the moment.
comparisons with Bury are a red herring the facilities around Manchester are second only to London, we are a backwater in comparison for such things, I've no doubt our facilities are comparable to most sides at our level and if you count the life centre as a training aid probably better than most.Cobi Budge.":27f8c1zq said:
It all starts to look a bit tinpot when you look at the grandstand and the useless swathe of concrete in front of it, one day if it ever gets built we will have amongst the best facilities in the lower leagues, big if.

I sincerely apologise Presto - I regret this post
I was in a depressed state about the playoff failure when I posted it.
I fully respect your loyal support and having had a few days to consider the end of season disappointment, I feel that although I'm not 100% satisfied with JS's impact so far, perhaps giving him a little more time to build may not be a terrible idea.
