I do suspect they want to sell the club for a huge profit, its no secret. If you feel they treat you only as a customer and you are not getting value for money stop spending.
It's this shit that fucking annoys me and other people more than most. It's not a case of Tesco fuck me off so I'll shop at Sainsbury's, BT are shit I'll go to Talk Talk etc, this is our club. Before ENIC and after ENIC, during dark days and great days.
I can afford family memberships of which I hardly use 2-3 of them, regular tickets, shirts, merchandise, a big Sky subscription that I hardly watch enough of etc and I have those things but, I am fucked off with a lot of cock ups over the years, think that the striker situation is total incompetence and totally the wrong kind of gamble.
Should I just not bother with all those anymore then and forget my team? Probably should cut down and would have to if things change financially but, I have paid and waited to get a season ticket through good and bad years, would likely lose that chance now and lose it for my young son who I hope to share my (our) club with. To be honest I have not booked tickets yet that I normally would have. I am using a mixture of excuses about other things on with the family or kick off times clashing with me playing or whatever but, in truth they're excuses I'd normally not make or find a way round. I suppose it is my own, personal, minor protest. I will not be any less interested in our results. I will be watching/streaming the games and just as emotionally invested in them. The interesting thing is, when they games come I will probably end up still going to most of them, tickets are easier to get than ever.....tells its own story and something ENIC should be wary of when 25k more are available!
There's a bigger picture than ENIC and Levy looking out for themselves ultimately and Poch being the latest experiment in the hot seat but, why the fuck should I just say 'oh well could be worse', 'oh well, won't make any difference'....no, I'll vent my frustrations on a forum or over a pint and so what.
I don't want to be right about thinking we could end up with a very average or worse season because of the balance of the squad or, Poch's philosophy not translating to anything much on the pitch. Both are possible based on what we can see here and now and have seen before. With any luck we'll have serious luck on the injury front and buy time and momentum to get things really going. To me it seems we've taken unnecessary gambles to prevent ourselves having best chance of some relative success this season, rather than 'gamble' a bit more money or be prepared to install a temporary, stop-gap option cheaply. Apparently Levy and Poch say there's no need to do that.....hope they're right.
