Inferiority complex

[maxikno18]

Is it only me who finds some of our fans inferiority complex to be completely baffling. The constant reminder that we should be thankful for not being a Sheff Wed or Bury and having custodial owners that some of the fanbase constantly peddle. The fact is, we’ve been incredibly lucky to have constructed a brilliant champ team stemming from Grayson and Neil. Pearo, Gally, Robo, DJ, Browne, Barky, Ben Davies etc all commanded next to nothing in fees. To have hit on so many cheap stabs in the dark should’ve meant we could easily adopt a player trading model. However, our entire footballing infrastructure is shambolic and there has been next to no effort to progress in a modern direction. The fact is, the Hemmings family have kept us on a shoe stringe budget which would’ve only just been suffice in the 90s. The fact is us north Enders have to unanimously agree that the time to force through change in ownership is well and truly here. Anything more than this year under IoM and we will be relegated (if not this year).

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

Maybe the Premier League

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

In Preston?

I want to find out.

Don't care if it's an utter clusterfuck for a while.

Anywhere is looking increasingly better than the current Limbo.

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

We maybe in league 1 or 2, having been up to the Premier league. Not stuck in a Championship time warp.
I for one would take the chance of new owners buying the club, rather than the same old every season.

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

Happier, less bored, and probably looking football to Fridays game.

If you’re in contact with them anytime soon, tell them thanks for fuck all.

Ta.

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

Depends.

Where would we be without their money?

We'd be completely shafted.

Where would we be without their unique strategic vision for a brave sustainable future for football in Preston? One that increased the value of the team? And repaid their generosity for their selfless investment many times over?

I think we'd be just fine without that one.

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

Stuck in an inferior league, unable to sign quality players, playing awful football on a terrible pitch, and generally feeling miserable and dejected with little anticipation for going to Deepdale







Oops, sorry, thought you said with the Hemmings family

 

[beagleman]

Just one question, where would we be without the Hemmings family ?

How about where would they be without us ?

The club is clearly of financial use to their business model.

Preparing to buy a ST

 

[Big 1]

I actually think the fans would rally round with new owners and attendances would rise if season tickets were kept at a reasonable price. There hasn't been much to get excited about for years but dynamic new owners would bring a wave of optimism, even if it took a while to start moving forward.

Yo-yoing between Premier League and Championship

 

[The Cottam one]

I want to find out.

This is my view as well. I'd happily risk ending up in league 2 if it meant there was a chance of the premier league. At least there'd be some excitement .

 

[raefil]

Weve effectively been in administration since he nicked my shares, I cant help but feel had we gone into official administration we would have bounced back a lot stronger than we are now.

It's one of Ridsdale's main weapons ;- frankly its overused, tired and boring and simply trying to deflect from the owners who don't invest by about another 66.66r %.
Look at the crowds Bournemouth and Brentford and Brighton have average d for the past 30 years.
Without figures to hand I'd suggest Deepdale's crowds have averaged better than those 3 clubs since 1996.
This inferiority complex is fed by Ridsdale. His whole ethos is " be happy with what you get AND how I spent it on YOUR BEHALF "

Just Pi$$ off Ridsdale. It's time to stop talking us down all the damned time

For perspective, the club has been in existence for around 146 years. The Hemmings takeover happened 16 years ago. So we've existed as a league club for 130 years without the Hemmings family.

Granted, there have been some tough times, but the club has survived - and will continue to exist - as a league club - long after the family have sailed off into the sunset.

From 99 to 2009, we were also a much better club before Hemmings shafted the shareholders and relegated us.
