Ambition

[Madferret]

If there is a plan, they're not telling us what it is.

As far as we know, post-TH all funding could be pulled and we could instantly become the next Bury, Wigan <insert favourite crisis club cliché here>.

Meanwhile, we're supposed to be impressed that we paid our tax on time while everyone else took advantage of government tax deferrals and strengthened their squads instead.

And that will catch up with them.

Meh, whingefest yet again- boring.

This club has shown zero ambition in recent years. The owner is content that we are a middling championship club.
The time Of Brian Grey, who has been the best club chairman in my 50+ years of attendance, are long gone.

There is no ambition other than survive.

It’s boring.

I don't think there would be such a problem if they came out and said we can't compete financially so survival is the best we can hope, for now.

Rather than being lied to about aspirations of trying to get into the premier league and then attempting to sign players like ched Evans.

We can compete financially. Our owner has the resources to do so. He chooses not to.

True! Makes it even more odd not to!

A fictitious supporter [not me] who may be lucky enough to own his own house worth .... lets say £180,00 and has 20,000 in the bank [If only!!!]. His net worth therefore is £200,000. He buys a season ticket for £400 which for many working adults with a family is a major outlay. That represents just 0.2% of his wealth. Most supporters do not even have these assets and therefore the % of total wealth given [not loaned] to the club year after year, with no hope if return, is much higher.

What keeps us going is the hope of seeing a good team performance and the hope of promotion. Even little things like victory over near rivals would be a major boost for moral.
Remove the hope and there is nothing left.

Our record in derby games under Alex Neil is quality, bar the recent game when we went down to ten men.

I'm down to that, all but given up on seeing promotion in my lifetime
