Is it just me who reads his quotes and automatically it reminds you of Steve keen/ David Hockaday/Chris Hutchins? Pretending like they believe in what they say but only because of the strings they are attatched to and guns pointed to their head. Nothing against the guy but I think he's out of his depth and it isn't going to last that long That three year contract makes him too expensive to fire. Or worth giving an extended chance depending on how you look at it.

Collins will be on less than that for certain.

Parky was on £50k plus bonus in the Wembley season. Collins will be on less than that for certain. In keeping with the wage structure, his basic will be comparatively low but will probably have bonuses. A few bad defeats in a difficult August (and an awkward league cup game at Macclesfield) and the rot will start on the pitch and in the stands. The fans won't give him time and every mistake or error will be scrutinised far worse that for anyone else in charge. If we have a winless run or have a spell of 3-4 consecutive defeats at home they'll turn quickly. He'll need a miracle to be here in 12 months time. Hes going to have to find his best 11 and set up fucking quickly, and on the basis of pre season he may as well draw names and a formation out of a hat.

From this morning's T and A:
“Shirts are still up for grabs. It’s up to the lads to put forward their case for August 4 whenever they play." “They’ve got to stay hungry and at it. I’m not interested in people who sulk..."
'Hungry' is this season's catchword and, like the appointment, totally vacuous.

Of course shirts are still up for grabs, no cunts had a pre season to earn one

More worrying is the Kai article. They building him up to be Wykes replacement.
Hate to sound like a broken record but it's looking like another transfer window where we have failed to solve the striking options. It's OK though it's not like we went on a run if not scoring goals last season or owt.

The Kai article... gave me a sense of dread and yeah, totally seems he's been bumped to first team in the same way a the manager was. Can you believe we gave him an 18 month deal? Had he been french, polish od english no one would have gone near him.
On a side note my boss, a Darlo fan who lives in Harrogate was taking the piss for the score at the weekend. Also aske who our manager is nowadays and when I told him he burst out laughing, that sort of loud, from the belly 'HAW HAW HAW' like how directors laugh.

Uh-oh, looks like someone doesn’t understand football. He’s a target therefore his job isn’t to get into double figures for goals. His job is to get double marked, cause havoc, create space, defend corners and have a bucket load of presence. If he does all that, and rarely scores or assists, he can retire a City legend.

'Give the lad a chance. I think this season he will be a great asset. Rather have him on my team than the opposition'
I despair at the complete spastication of our fan base at times - this is a genuine comment and not a wind up.
What in the fuck do these people see?

Said it before but our fan base are past masters at finding reasons to excuse, or even like, mediocrity. Instead of even being philosophical about it and taking the, ‘ok, we gave it a go and it didn’t work out. On your way, son’ attitude that logical and ambitious people would, these cunts take shithouses to their hearts because they try hard. Ability and quality are seen as a delightful bonus rather than a pre-requisite by these wet-chinned clapping seals. Then, come another season in League One, these same people are scratching their heads unable to figure out where it’s all going wrong and why all this effort and presence hasn’t got us promoted already. Part of me thinks we belong in League One because our fans, like most of our players, are lower league plodders.

Everyone has a different way of assessing players, but I honestly think that many of our fans can't spot a quality player. They're far too easily fooled by things like work-rate, presence, chest thumping and clapping the fans.

They're far too easily fooled by things like work-rate, presence, chest thumping and clapping the fans. I mostly agree but I’d add that they’re probably aware when a player lacks the necessary quality but they have this compulsion to make excuses for them and announce to everyone how they rate them actually and, given a prescribed set of circumstances, they’re certain the player in question will turn out to be half decent in the end. When said player predictably fails to make the grade the nuthuggers can argue that it was because the necessary set of circumstances were never met. This is the, ‘not playing to his strengths’ argument. Be it some sort of demonstration of their Uber-fandom or whatever they don’t seem able to help themselves. Then, after a period of denial, they actually start to believe it. This is how you find yourself arguing with robots like the Hanson nuthuggers. What’s so hard for them in saying a shit player is a shit player I’ll never know.

What’s so hard for them in saying a shit player is a shit player I’ll never know. Because they're "real fans" and "real fans" get behind the team and players because that's how to get them to play well. Negativity upsets them and makes them play really badly. Once you nail your colours to the "real fan" mast there is only one way. Blind, unswerving support.
