I really am sick of this 'I pay my money therefore I can do anything' attitude. It seems to only apply to football.
If I pay to watch a group play and think they suck, I walk out and dont watch them again/buy their merchandise.
If I pay for my shopping at Sainsburys and dont like the standard of food, I go somewhere else.
I don't in either case shout obscenities at the band/manager or any other person because I dont like what I paid £15 for. It's time people realised that what we're really attacking is something we can't admit; that we are fed up with ourselves/our existence and that we pour our disappointments into a man (Brian Little/player x) or the team as a whole.
We simply want to feel bigger than we are, that we have a say in the team, the club and for £15 we get that whole identity in one very cheap bundle. It's a bargain to most vacuous scally idiots.
It's a £15 cure and preventative from actually looking at ourselves and making changes to our lives, not some one individual, who, in the future, could or might, when the current manager leaves, possibly take his place and set both our club's and our own problems to rights.
If we have blind allegiance to the club then, who cares who the bloody manager is? It could be a blind dingo with bug eyes on that logic.
I support the manager first, then individual players, then the team and 'the club' are something none of us can quantify but you seem to 'support.' It's like saying 'I support the second pillar of the main stand or the cantilever bars of the kop.'
YES I support the bloody manager and until he leaves I'll fight his corner while everyone else slags him off indiscriminantly, believing they have better ideas and tactics, and better footballing pedigree.
I am 110% behind Little. How can anyone say they support club x and yet want the manager y to leave, so if the team loses and the club falls down the league they are secretly happy?
*Goes off to blindly follow a manager who took us to 3rd in the league last year and a penalty shoot out away from the promised land*
