The way you put things can be very dismissive and provocative. Misrepresenting people’s points. Deerey wasn’t saying it was the best football ever seen, for example.

I think the odds on that are low for all teams at this level.

I don’t think racists, homophobes, misogynists or denialists should be imprisoned. Only things like calls to violence/arson should be investigated imo, and I don’t think Tousi has done that. However, some people think others may be racists, homophobes, misogynists or denialists, and less of the hurt feelings and outrage from some of the right is in order when that happens. I am a bit weary of outrage from all sides.

Nobody is under any illusion, after last season, that this league is shite and we’re going to see some horrible games
There were some mumbles and grumbles when we were on good form for the first month or so. However, that was the standard fayre for football at this level; realistically, we’re not going to play like Barcelona in NLN and winning at this level usually requires making the least amount of defensive errors, capitalising on opposition’s errors and physicality in midfield. SODIron raises valid points, I think, and Butler, like with Dean, doesn’t seem to know how to play with a plan B.
It worked at first, before opposition could find ways to adapt, but since then it has been poor and we need something to change. Unfortunately, nothing has and Butler seems unwilling to and his interviews where he insists his way is best doesn’t give the best impression that things will change.

He was making a joke.

Bit hard for us to play anything but hoofball when we have 5 defenders, with ‘wing backs’ who don’t go forward often, 3 forwards and 2 midfielders who have little creativity.

Rubbish

Sounds like there could be competing visions inside the club.

I do think Deerey had a point a week or so ago. The back 5 didn’t help, but there are bigger problems afoot. I am not convinced by the balance of the squad and wonder if they actually are good enough.

Scunny’s Twitter says he’s ill.

We’re not entitled to success, and clubs across the country regularly get it wrong. Including among those with high budgets for their level. I think some perspective is needed, instead of constant melodrama.
Not entitled to success no, but we have the tools to be successful at the level we’re at. As for clubs getting it wrong, we are and, I think, as fans we’re entitled to point that out. ( Calls for sacking going a bit too far at the moment IMO but he’s on very thin ice and has to respond quickly.)
I understand that, and criticism is definitely warranted. It’s just the tone and arguments go way beyond just saying “not good enough, Butler”.

Losing players we liked and having a manager who is unable to get results is nowhere near as catastrophic as the club being run to the ground.

The football and results under Butler have not been good enough, but losing the club ought to gave put things into perspective imo.
