Never again....

Never again....

Did it look like the penny had dropped?

The fact he was in that posisition says otherwise.

There is no penny to be dropped. It's not like Peter is all of a sudden going to have a personality and skill transplant. He's a dinosaur running the club in an archaic fashion with archaic owners with no strategy or vision for improvement. Sadly Peter's not going to wake up this morning and have a load of visionary ideas that he'd previously never had his entire career.

Must just be me who doesn’t give a fuck that he’s handing out medals.

Pisses me off more the fact he didn’t sack our gobshite manager. Huge missed opportunity this season

I don't give a shite either. I just fucking wish we would wake up and realise that we need a different approach.

51/92 clubs have now reached the Premier League. The only club you could really compare to us now are Bristol City. Painful.

Since we first came up to this level under Moyes in 2000, 11 clubs have subsequently played in the third tier and then got themselves to the Premier League. Burnley, who came up with us, have been promoted to the premier league 4 times.

Another 9 teams have gone from the 4th division to the top flight in that time. Essentially a quarter of the football league have at some point progressed past us, not withstanding those who were already ahead of us at that time and have remained so.

Not sure we need a visionary, only a return to clever recruitment. DJ, Hugill, CR7, Pearo, all signed with pedigree and resale value, although we didn't capitalise on all of them.

I rarely venture onto the looney bin that is Facebook, but whenever I do I see why we’ll never be able to mobilise our fan base into action against our hierarchy.

One cynical FaceTime to a fans’ coach and they’ll be singing his name.

Love the idea of ‘You’re just a fat Philip Schofield’ though… 😍

Followed by- if Luton can do why can’t we?

Those are harrowing statistics and most definitely explains my reluctance to renew this season. The old man said at the end of the season that he was done with pne, fast forward a few weeks and we’re scratching about trying to justify a reason….the best we can come up with is Luton’s story and that in itself is a damning statement.

You boycotted? Cause of Ridsdale? So 🤷

I stopped going because i was bored off my head, at the games. Ridsdale and the whole regime are complicit in that.

I will continue to ask, "Is he still here?"

The reason being is that I believe the advice hes giving to the owners is stifling PNEs progress and holding the club back.

The club needs a progressive CEO like we had back in the days of Tony Scholes. Unless and until that happens I think the entertainment value will continue to be very limited as manager after manager ends up resorting to negative tactics because of the abilities of the squads they are being given.

I didnt boycott I stopped going because it was mind numbingly boring and i found better things to do, especially in the couples of hours before a game started.

I dont demand wins, although theyre always nice, but i do expect a modicum of entertainment at games i attend. Ive renewed my Season Card and live in hope for the new season ahead.

Lutons success seems to have pissed on everyones chips but for me it shows that just a little bit extra and that could have been us.

An excellent post that sums up exactly how I see it.

I haven't had the same gut feeling about being excited to go and see us since the BD days.

The entertainment level just isn't there.

Constant acceptance of squad purchases rather than a stand out player. Someone with skill, pace and an eye for goal.

Cannon would be an excellent opportunity to bring someone in that can at least give us some optimism. Will it happen though, no chance.

And therein lies the problem......... What we are quite obviously going to get is " a little bit less ".

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.

Which does put some folk off from enjoying the forum
It is getting extremely monotonous watching many threads degenerate into a moan fest
There is a lot to critique I’m sure but the level at times is OTT.
I got a rollicking off a good poster on here last season for whinging once too often about maguire which was warranted and good to reflect on.
Not all is bad at PNE, in fact quite the opposite.
