There's a guy on a college basketball board I read who made a post railing against the facilities guy at the arena. Said he was incompetent for, among other things, not opening doors and windows to cool the place down. He went on to say this was further proof of the problems that exist throughout the entire athletic program, the university administration and the state government. I made a post admiring his clever parody of all the ways that fans can find to get upset at their team, but it turned out he was completely serious.
The transfer window (which is not over) has not met expectations. But it's already better than last year's where we added Besic from some nowhere league, Clev on a free, Aaron Lennon after he didn't even get a number at Spurs, and Geri on a glorified loan. Remember the posts about Spur's fans reactions, "How can he choose Everton over us!"? You don't, because there weren't any. This year we've gotten players (and a manager) from EPL teams that actually wanted to keep them. That seems different to me.
But that doesn't even matter, because the real proof will be stuff that can be objectively measured: match results, a new stadium, higher commercial revenues. And it is not possible for any of these things to have happened yet!
In my opinion any one who is complaining now about sell-to-buy, or poor marketing, or almost anything else at all, is not being realistic. In fact, you are being so unrealistic that when you write these things you are not telling us anything about the club. Instead, you are telling us about yourselves. And what you are saying is, 'I really need to cheer up.'
