All I could hear - watching it on tv- (apart from them cheering when they scored) was 'we don't care about dejphon' being sung on repeat. I don't think anyone could be in any doubt about which way the wind is blowing now.
i think the timing of their first goal killed a lot of the momentum for protest. As soon as it went in, people defaulted to the "get behind the lads" attitude (not that I'm saying there's anything fundamentally wrong with that but frustrating given the current circumstances).
This.
We all hate chansiri and hope his next poo is a hedgehog BUT we've been complaining for years as a fan base about giving injury prone players big contracts - doesn't seem that unreasonable to me to offer a very injury prone player a reduced contract especially given the financial uncertainty at the time.
Nothing more to add other than to say that listening to the public meeting the other day and reading this letter, how grateful I am personally to have the trust fighting our corner.
Not saying you're wrong or right (like any of us know?), but I dont think ****siri is remotely interested in charming or appealing to the fans anymore. Years of supplication from certain sectors of our fan-base (and indifference from the rest) have shown him that we'll buy and attend regardless of how dire things get.
Why would it be any different now?
Thought the same thing when we were relegated from the prem.."what we need is a reset, go down, rebuild, come back stronger.."
That er, didn't work out reight well
Fully endorse and support this course of action but you just know they'll be some 'fans' moaning that the trust is depriving the club of money when it needs it the most.
