Reality

We are in a mess because the board made, by their own admission, an 8-figure error over how the South Stand would be funded. An error that will haunt us for at least a decade to come.
They compounded that by following a policy of believing that off the field income was more important than football.
They compounded that by making a series of disastrous appointments and by failing, by their own admission, to scrutinise what managers were doing.

None of this was even remotely the fault of the fans who, when a highly paid player looks up, sees strikers in the box and hoofs the ball into the stand, are not terribly happy.

For all the s**t talked about about Mr & Mrs Wynn-Jones may or not have put into the club it is we fans - who year after year have bought our season tickets without any consideration to the product on show that have kept this club going. To suggest that we might in any way be responsible should the club be relegated again is outrageous and has literally made me shake with rage.

        Worthy with no money to spend against the one that messed up (NCFC) - pants, Aug 19, 10:44:18
        
        its amazing to look back and think...... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Aug 19, 10:35:13
        
        It was THREE! (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 19, 10:39:33
        
        technically it was 3.... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Aug 19, 10:42:16
        
        I loved Kevin Harper and he was a proper threat down that right side. (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 19, 10:46:37
        
        I preferred Cooper. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 19, 10:48:35
        
        yeah Cooper was much better than Harper (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 19, 10:59:08
        
        Racist. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 19, 10:56:32
        
        i liked cooper too..... (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Aug 19, 10:52:13
        
        and he was hard as fuck for a little player (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Aug 19, 10:47:51
        
        I think his subsequent record shows he didn't know when to stop being aggressive. (n/m) (NCFC) - sheffieldcanary, Aug 19, 10:56:17
        
        I remember him doing a tackle on someone and they either hobbled off (NCFC) - pants, Aug 19, 10:59:00

    - yep. (n/m) (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Aug 19, 10:28:05
- 2 different issues. Regardless of the repeated failings at board level we still have a job (NCFC) - megson, Aug 19, 10:15:32
- All fair points - but I don't think anyone is saying that the fans will be responsible if (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Aug 19, 10:13:01
  - It's hard to support when you turn up full of optimisim only to be 5-0 down before (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 19, 10:21:36
    - You're wrong. The fans CAN change something. (NCFC) - Arganth, Aug 19, 10:27:56
      - 1,800 away in a League Two match whilst in the relegation zone (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 19, 10:33:42
        
        That's the confidence. It was already rock bottom. (NCFC) - Arganth, Aug 19, 10:38:30
        
        yep and fingers crossed he will lift the place and then keep it upbeat. (n/m) (NCFC) - lovely old job, Aug 19, 10:39:10
