A Question for Negative Posters - you know who you are


This club will do that to people how many false dawns, failed windows, games like Leeds on Monday can people sit and watch and remain positive. I’ve remained relatively positive but this last week I snapped a little myself.

Can’t be invested in something and not care. No matter how hard you try. If people are like me there tired of watching Everton fail, time for something te be done properly!
 
After listening to endless nonsense being posted recently about issues such as owners not being interested / committed , club being skint again , lack of investment , phantom bids , disharmony over recruitment , Moyes only wanting experienced , over the top players with no resale value etc., etc.
Whether the Dibling transfer actually goes through (hopefully it will) , it nevertheless asks a question or two.

1) Where do you get your wildly inaccurate information from ?
2) Is it from other sources , or do you just make it up yourself ?
3) Why do you circulate constantly negative slants about the club without trying to analyse the evidence before posting
4) If you haven't thought about the accuracy of the "information" that you sometimes robustly post , why try to suck the joy of life out of others ?

I understand that a healthy exchange of views on a forum is to be encouraged , but when constant , repitiive negativity adversely affects others , and their willingness to contribute , perhaps you need to think before posting. Nobody wants to be a happy , clappy brigade , but a bit of balance sometimes would be nice.

I will put my tin hat on , and await abuse / ridicule.
Wait till you see the pitch fork gang when Dibling had a couple of poor games.
 

The pacifists who sit there and tell us everything’s great because there’s 3 worse teams than us every year are doing far more damage than the people who complain, sorry.
And both sides have just as much influence on the outcome, so you're better off being sanguine with the situation. Told you before if its not in your control its not worth the stress ! Plus, the club doesn't care about you one jot ! Accept that and you'll be far less stressed.

That’s life I’m afraid .
We don’t all think the same .
It would be a boring world if we did.
Just be you and let everyone else enjoy the same freedom and we will all get along fine.
( there is always the option to ignore )
Desperately trying to read them words as though Frank Sinatra is singing them lol
 

There are two types:

There is reactive negativity in response to piss-poor management, like hoarding left wingers or pseudo number 10’s when we haven’t bought a functioning right back in 30 years. Or potentially spending money to acquire an ageing crocked 5th centre back months after letting go of a vital midfielder because you couldn’t stomach extending his contract by a further year. This is justifiable negativity imo.

Then there are those that are so attached to being crap that they will preemptively falsify utter nonsense in order to impose self-imposed make believe restrictions on our ambitions and abilities. E.G Saying we are unable to sack Dyche because doing so would reward him with a one year contract extension (WTF?), or saying we have now reached our PSR limit based on sod all, just weeks after the sale of our women’s team.

Of course, they already know how much the women’s team has been sold for. It was for… erm… ‘between 40 and 60 million’ because it couldn’t possibly be any more than that!

To be clear, nobody knows how much the women’s team has been sold for, and perhaps they are correct with their wide ranging estimate. But the issue is that you have pulled those figures from your arse, and you are constantly projecting your own self-imagined restrictions onto Everton, often in advance and based on sod all!

The attachment to being crap is a far worse form of negativity than those that express disappointment with observable mismanagement and the repeated spunking of good money up the wall.
