Never again....

Never again....

Final Stand said:
Well the current regime, Risdale and Lowe, feel quite comfortable and reassured using the “overachieving“ cliche.

The use of “we are building” is a term which I am tired of hearing from within North End, we have been building for 60+ years and still seem incapable of completing the building.

So whats the cliche from North End that you have had enough of ?

Just mentioned 2 of them on the "Never again" thread
"overachieving"
"It is what it is"
If I had my way, anyone using either term from now on, would face the death penalty!!
 
I pissed my sides when I saw riddler handing out the medals, the clubs that big of a joke right the way through it doesn’t even make me angry anymore.
 
Deepdale is the biggest building in Preston .. the fans know where it is - fuck off Derek

'we are grateful to the Hemmings family for keeping the club afloat' - fuck off Ridsdale

'relative success' of Luton' - fuck off Craig

'finishing the season in a commendable 13th' - fuck off Craig

Clichés..... "Punching above our weight" is something that can never ever be used again.

Hemmings, Ridsdale, Lowe OUT.

P.S you can tell I've spent all morning reading about Lutons promotion - I am pissed off.

P.s.s if Lowe does his daft embarrassing fist pump at the end of games next season I really will lose my shit.

I don't know why people are using Coventry and Luton as examples of why we can't be overachieving ... There are levels of achievement.. Chorley win the FA cup but bamber bridge finish runner up...
How can Bamber bridge call that overachieving when Chorley have gone one better? 🙄🙄 It would still be overachieving for brig wouldn't it...... I don't think saying pne are overachieving is a good enough excuse tho, when you stand still and stagnate for as long as we have that excuse wears thin.

Of current EFL clubs who have played in the top flight but never in the Prem, only Grimsby have been away from the top flight longer than us:

Grimsby Town: 75 years
Preston North End: 62
Leyton Orient: 60
Northampton Town: 57
Carlisle Utd: 48
Bristol City: 43
Oxford Utd: 35
Millwall: 33
Luton Town: 31

Luton will now be replaced by Notts County in the list.

Absolutely ridiculous........we need a consortium to take control asap.....calling David Beckham...Mark Lawrenson and your contacts....Robbie Fowler... Michael Owen.... something along those lines.....please come and take this grand old club back to the top of English football and give the games longest suffering fans something to be proud of at long last.... surely someone of there ilk is up to the challenge?.....well I can only dream!! .......Wrexham?..... Wrexham who?.....this is where it could be at.
 
Just a few from the Ridsdale canon:

"Rollercoaster" to describe every one of our flatlined, 12th-place-for-months, boring-as-shit seasons.

"We need to work smarter and harder" while working dumber and lazier every year.

"We can beat anyone on our day", while cherrypicking examples from the 36% of days we actually beat anyone.
 
Yayyyy, another thread spouting the same shite about our management and owners.


Cant get enough of these, right now.

Starting to remind of avfft, thread after thread saying the same shite but with a different title.

Not bothered about Ridsdale giving out medals. It’s part of his role on the EFL no doubt so that doesn’t bother me. It’s like when Ryan Lowe was at a Liverpool game, who really cares.

All I care about is my club and the success (or lack of) that it has. All I want is my club to do well. Luton’s success shows it can be done with a proper plan in place, a strategy on transfers and just a bit of ambition. It’s not really rocket science. Like the original post said, the overachieving phrase can’t be used for north end. If we are classed as overachieving for finishing mid table then that tells us as fans everything we need to know about the direction the owners/board want to go. Happy treading water.

The sooner they go the better, I’d rather take one year in the prem than being mid table every season. It’s boring. We need someone to come in with a plan, as much as Kirchner was a complete tool and found out to be a fraud at least he had some sort of plan to get behind.

Nothing wring with it actually. He has a role at the EFL, so fair enough. The hope has to be that the penny has dropped. Seeing 1st hand what can be done should wake him up to the reality of possibility.

Did it look like the penny had dropped?

The fact he was in that posisition says otherwise.
