Ah yes Ironking, single out me for me for creating an anagram that took it’s lead from the Ernest Pawn one (funny how that wasn’t juvenile eh?) for all the current woes regarding ground ownership and the fact that many fans are too apathetic or wary about voicing concerns on a public forum. Yeah, well done. How noble of you. Neither of the posts have been ‘robbed’ so don’t blame me or anyone else for others not being arsed to contribute anything substantial.
This situation has been building up for years. Many of us have been banging on about it for years whilst the majority, particularly on here, have happy clapped their way along or stuck their head in the sand. Years ago we talked about the possibility of fan ownership and barely anyone came forward with offers of cash. It was inevitable when the s*** really started hitting the fan, some supporters would wake up whilst I would imagine many others are thinking ‘what did you expect?!’ and have far bigger concerns right now like a catastrophic pandemic that has a major impact on their livelihoods and their families future.
You talk about the issues 99% has raised? Of course he has in the past but all he’s done now is say ‘I told you so’ and nothing else. Alcazar has done the same and rubbed it in further by claiming since sort of victory from it. After years of this situation building up, our club being literally over a barrel, I’m not going to apologise for making one joke to to 99% about his shed and having a go at Alcazar. Btw, has he added anything new and positive to the debate? No. Hence my anagram. Childish it was, but hey shoot me down for introducing a bit of banter. Awaywego makes a very low comment about 99% and Covid but no chastising for him I see.
Having said all that, I will happily cut the wise cracks and digs at Alcazar and look forward to watching the constructive debate flow about how we get out of this mess. Tbh, and sorry of this sounds defeatist, but I fear it’s too little too late. If anyone’s got a plan though I’ll look forward to seeing and supporting it.
