In February I said we'd finish bottom and be relegated whilst not winning a game and conceding more points in a season than our highest announced home attendance. I was told then I was mad.....maybe I am, but I was spot on!
More so, I have banged on about the perils of ignoring the business side of running a club. I warned that the reliance on Hughes cash was a disaster waiting to happen, but was told my statistics meant little. I was apoplectic with the idiocy of Blanchard and MacKay but was shouted down for making it personal. The fact of the matter is I was right and I am still right, but some people prefer to live in a bubble of faux positivity. Another hammering today........losing is part of the club now and regardless of next years lower tier opposition, getting that out of the psyche could be too hard.

Agreed.

I bought a membership knowing that we wouldn't win a game this season, and will continue to do so. Mr Grima seems to be getting rid of all the players tainted by the losing mentality. That's his call and I believe he is right. If he fails it is curtains for the Broncos, then again he may not and he will get us up or a least winning some games.

I will continue to support RL in the south regardless of the success of the Broncos as they are not the be all and end all of the sport around London.

Plenty, I just couldn't be bothered to spend time cutting and pasting them, and in the process bore everyone else. If they've been following this thread they'll have read your remarks.

Good post micky, unfortunately you're trying to engage someone in conversation who has a megaphone and noise-cancelling headphones. He shouts everything and hears nothing.

Another well argued post Meliferra, you really must stop that it doesn't fit in at all.

You're right though, in the end while we know some of the financial details our opportunities to change or influence them are minimal. We can only turn up and continue supporting the team.
And as you point out, when Barnet's financial backer disappeared into the sunset it was the fans that remained.

"Look everybody I was right".
Sat there thousands of miles away criticising fans who still go to cheer on the team, willing the demise of this club just so you can say "I told you so" and do the most Pyrrhic victory dance ever.
All you ever talk about is the past and great you were then, while shouting down anyone that wants to discuss the future.

I think Joe Grima is in a tough position regarding getting rid of players, he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. But if we let players go now we might get some money to buy out the remainder of their contracts whereas at the end of the season we won't get a brass farthing.

We all know that the reliance on David Hughes money can't go on forever and that we all want the club to have a more sustainable financial model. Regrettably for a club our size, sustainable finances will inevitably mean the release of players while it's possible to sell out the remainder of their contract.

......but then you proceed to bomb us with quickdire posts......multiple ones at that?

Yeah but we will all read the quickie posts and most likely have a wry smile, unlike the whole page of waffle that's spouted by some posters where you lose interest and skim over most of it

I'll deal with bits of your wild an inaccurate accusations bit by bit as there are so many if them. First up;
I have never stopped anyone from discussing the future of the club, such as it may be. I have on the other hand questioned the possibility of actually having a future whilst a) Hughes is still in charge and b) the financial arrangements regarding the ground are not finalised for more than the next 6 weeks.
Furthermore, all I have seen from the new coach is a willingness to speak to the clubs press officer, talk of changing a culture and a continued average of 44 point hammerings. The only thing that points to us not being as bad next year is he drop in the quality of the opposition.
So, the first urban myth you posted that is lapped up by the populist audience is exposed. For the record, it is impossible to plan for the future if at first you do not learn from the mistakes of the past so discussing what has gone on before is a key part of trying to fathom what's ahead of us!

I responded to various members who I thought had made interesting or valid posts. But the fact that you think I should have spent that time responding solely to you is most, most revealing.

Read what I said instead of making stuff up. I never said you had responded to me.

ah but gutters you are the one that decided you were speaking for "us"
The bloke made some valid points as usual you have decided you are the font of all knowledge

You are are getting as repetitive as GF himself.

Michael. I really do get it. You prefer to sit in your seat and watch the team then afterwards chat about stuff like "wouldn't it be great if we could sign........." Or " maybe if we could find a new investor" all the while ignoring the elephant in the room. It's OK Michael........you're not alone although you are in an ever decreasing siZed minority. If im wrong Michael, tell me where the missing fans have gone? Have I, gutterfax driven them away with my repetitive warnings of impending doom or have the management of the club and it's owner done that by ignoring my and everyone else's warnings?
I don't speak for us or for we Michael, I speak as a fan of the club who is appalled by the utter banality of the acceptance of your lot........I don't slag you off for attending by the way. I applaud it, but it makes not one bit of difference as to the direction the club heads in.....that's down to one man and if you think my posts are repetitive, check out his record of failure when it comes to the club!
