Same old stuff from the same old posters. Moaning and groaning about anything while completely missing the point about why we’re going to be relegated from the League.
The reason I “brought it up” was in direct response to the OP. I supported Swann in the past largely because of the moaning and groaning on here about things such as pies and replica shirts. It’s obvious to anyone who can do basic maths that running out of pies and issues over replica shirts has very little impact on the finances of the club. This doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be better if these things could be avoided, of course, but the fuss made about them on here was daft. It’s also worth saying that the club must have been doing some things right to get the family award from the EFL.
The reason fewer people have been attending matches has very little to do with pies and replica shirts to the extent it can neglected. Ultimately it’s down to our position in the League and, to a lesser extent, the quality of the football on offer, though clearly these are related.
If Swann had allowed managers to do their jobs I very much doubt we’d be in the position we are now. The hugely frustrating thing as a fan is that all of this could have been avoided, but it seems he’s closed the stable door after the horse has bolted. It’s now too late and our fate is pretty much sealed. I will never forgive Swann for what he’s done and I doubt many others will either, but our problems have nothing to do with what too many on here have focused on in the past.
