  1. Agreed. But what name calling did he get? To my mind he was given a very healthy respect, (I read so many thank you's) and rightly so for was he and others were trying to do. The points raised at the time, where if anything sympathising with the situation he found himself in. Having to balance what he could and couldn't ask. No video. When it didn't quite go to plan, he then IMO took that very personally. When it had nothing to do with him, the frustration was clearly with the chairman. The idea that we turned on him, or he had cause to leave is ludicrous.
  2. IF he has- What a massive overreaction that last bit is. This was the problem at the time. The meeting was bound to cause differing opinion. NNN was consistently praised by the vast majority for his articulate, thoughtful approach. He got the run around by Corney, not his fault. I posted at the time; he offered to rearrange it 3 times, so Corney could film it as promised. . hey presto Corney chooses 'a very busy time, where all the cameras are in use' brilliant. IMO, NNN got a bit seduced by Corney. Over time his tone changed markedly from 'I want to hold the club to account in the most profressional manner I/we can' to 'give Corney a break, he's trying his best. . . One of his last posts actually had a right go at the naivety of some of the questions emailed to him!! Oh, so it's don't film it after all and ask awkward questions. . . Unreal. NNN started to take things very personally, when in truth people weren't criticising him whatsoever- They were highlighting how he was on a hiding to nothing trying to get Corney to be inclusive. Corney tells us what Corney wants. As is his right. The whole saga was a waste of time sadly. Nobody's fault, and certainly not cause to recreate yourself on a message board! If he has. ?
  3. Fair do's. I do read your posts, and I think we're very much agreed on the running the club. My main point though was a reaction to what you said; 'if it's not worth the money, the club can't mean that much to you' When I read that, I got a bit defensive. Of course the club means something to me, but in truth your probably right in some respect. I don't have the affiliation I once had. I don't get a season ticket, because I work on Tuesday nights, so there's no massive saving over paying on the gate. I used to go to 10/15 home games a season, but I only go to handful of games these days for two main reasons. 1, I just can't stomach the football to go that often anymore. The games are dire. It's not the :censored: players per se, it's the utter lack of trying to win home games. I know we're mostly :censored:, I know we're on our arse, but I begrudge shelling out £30/35(ticket/petrol/pie&pint) without trying to win on a consistent basis. That isn't a reaction to just this season, I've been on the wane for a few seasons now. 2, I feel like like Corney is asking for blind loyalty, if I felt or saw that we were moving in the right direction, I'd be much more inclined to go. An I don't just mean results on the pitch. I mean communication and transpency, no I don't want to know what we spent on stationary last year. But I do want to genuinely know, where we are as a club, just be honest as you can with us. Unfortunately I don't believe a word that comes from the club anymore, the recent 'sit down' with the chairman was a farce, so that's dead. As fans we always we say it's our club. But to me it feels like Corneys club, and his alone. If I keep paying It's like I'm endorsing him. Right or wrong, that's how I see it. So in summary, I do care. Just more from a far these days.
  4. Yeah. . Your probably right. That's why I follow all the news, and I still occasionally do a 40 mile round trip to pay £24 on a Saturday. I do this Knowing full well I will be bored to tears, but with the faintest hope that it might flicker some enthusiasm. It doesn't. I will probably keep doing that untill A, we score a goal. B, show an attacking intent. Or C, the entertainment at half time is so good, it negates the other 90 minutes of football. Then I might start going more often. You seem to be one of those fans, that doesn't understand the different ways people follow/feel/support a club. IMO It's not a chicken an egg scenario. The onus is all on Corney to show us he has some sort of plan for finishing above 17th. This season is the same as last 5, his business model is very apparent. Scrape through on absolute nothing till Jan, then throw a few quid at it, give people something to smile about (a few goals and wins, (oh simon, you are spoiling us)just before renewals and do nothing till next Jan. If that doesn't change, the club will keep finishing 17th or worse, and the fans will continue to become more and more disalluisoned. His days of relying of goodwill and backing from supporters are long gone. Time for him to be proactive and do things the other way round. But he won't. So it's all bit pointless really.
  5. Yep. Think he got two and half years. To be fair, I don't doubt his ability, but surely he's got to address it in the summer. Not only doesn't affect his fitness, but I'd thought it would make him more injury prone? Or will he do similar to Gregan, and just get bigger and better.
  6. I said to similar to my mate, I honestly could not believe how big he was. It's not an exaggeration to say he looked a pub player size wise.
  7. So are you; if you think the casual fan/potd will keep coming back if we offer so little going forward. Relegation battle or not. We were woeful going forward. (Holloway aside) I, like Sinnot it would appear won't be back in a hurry. It's just not worth the money.
  8. 'a better than expected in form bury side' ? Contradiction in terms. In all seriousness, it was game at home in which we offered absolutely nothing going forward, against a side with a very poor defensive record. We've defended well for most of the season, agianst much better sides than Bury. So I expected that from us today. What I genuinely didn't expect was a Robinson-esque type performance going forward. Competive largely dull draws at home won't keep us up.
  9. Spot on BP. They are doing their best, obviously working hard for shez. But we just lack a bit of quality, especially going forward. Working hard - while important, won't keep us up.
  10. I've got a horrible feeling we will take that last relegation place, We just don't score enough.
  11. My first game for a bit. Paid £24 for that. It's hard to imagine doing it again this season. Thought shez we were going for it at home???? Felt sorry for Holloway, who was so isolated, he looked totally pissed off second half, an I don't blame him. Why wasn't Banks subbed at half time? He was awful first half. Taylor looks a shadow of the player he was- have a shot Chris!? Why do we have a midfield when we're defending, but we don't have one when we're attacking??? As usual, we looked steady-ish at the back and totally toothless going forward. The only player with real quality in our front six is Holloway. Sorry to say but that was a Robinson type performance, dogged, hard working, but very little creatively. I know it's all about results at this stage, but deary me, you have to show a willingness to win the game. Shez will keep us competive, but will it be enough?? I'm starting to have serious doubts.
  12. The very faint hope it may be included at some point? If they speak out, they burn any remaining (however tiny) goodwill.
