This is a post that has been boiling up inside for a while now so I think it best to finally express it.
Whether you like Brian Little's style of management, his decisions, his selection of players or his tactics there seems to be a 'time for a change' groundswell developing. A replacement for Brian Little may be justified but it's the notion that 'a change' in whatever format is somehow a good thing that bothers me.
It seems that the constant search for something, anything new or different in modern society is now at epidemic proportions. Whether it's the endless barrage of adverts seducing us to obtain the latest ipod (i believe the nano is the latest) or an ingrained dissatisfaction with our humdrum existence that instills this ferocious search for a new this or a different that, the fact is that everyone seems to have less time these days, and above all less patience.
In these times where everything seems disposal people search for something to belong to; something, anything, thats bigger than themselves to which they can associate. You only have to look at some of the signatures of whitereview posters ('Football is life and Tranmere is everything to me' / 'Foootball is my religion and Prenton Park is my church' )to grasp that the collapse in attendance of organised religion in this country has left a void to say the least.
So what if football is the new religion and prenton park has become our church, with Brian Little our priest. Does this congregation now turn to a hymn heard at many pseudo-religious gatherings up and down the land? Do we want little out because he's perhaps not our saviour despite just just 5 months ago nearly taking us to the promised land? Wasn't Christ himself greeted with palm trees then summarily executed only weeks later?
In summary, do we want Little out because it will mean that we have 'something' new or because with Little gone we can honestly foresee the arrival of the chosen one?
Rant over.
