The blame game (41 replies)

As usual after a bad run fans start looking to play the blame game. It's the manager, it's the owners, it's something 'rotten' at the club, it's the new boys being paid more than the old guard, it's the pre season, it's the training pitches, it's the physios, it's middle management, it's because we sacked Jim Smith and appointed Ron Saunders...

I'll tell you what's wrong. It's 24hr coverage with wall to wall stats, professional 'pundits', the internet, SKY money, the transfer window and the Bosman Ruling. Nowadays no-one's allowed to lose without there being a full enquiry and allegations of unrest, no manager is allowed to have a bad run without so-called fans baying for his blood, everyone's an expert and players can do whatever they like whilst managers take the full brunt of the disquiet amongst the fans that's stoked up constantly by SKY and the media just to boost their own ratings.

It's bred a nation of whinging, bed-wetting, know-it-all 'supporters', spoilt, militant, millionaire arsehole players and impatient, unstable, foreign billionaire owners.

It's a load of old wank.
