Point taken, Gunn was talking bollocks though. Having 25,000 SUPPORTIVE fans is never a

bad thing.

When a large % of those 25,000 seem to waiting for the first mistake so they can't start savaging someone then, and only then, is it an issue.

I agree as to why we are here, the buck does stop in one place, and one place alone.

However, can you see that it is possible to support the 'team' to back them, lift them, and give this manager realistic time to try and achieve something, and to also NOT back 'the club'.

The majority shareholders and team are now split. For me they are different entities.
Wanting to do be patient and supportive of the playing staff, in order to givethem the best possible environment in which to achieve stability, nevermind success, does not mean supporting DS/MWJ for me.

It is entirely possible to keep putting pressure on these 2, before and after games, while maintaining support for the team during the 90 minutes.

Supporting 'the team' does not mean filling the stands.
The pure act of paying does support 'the club' but to support 'the team' we need to be backing them, rather than jumping on the first mistake.

I rather suspect McNally and the new board members will be running things their way, if not they will go the way of the Turners rather quickly, and this time it will be clear and obvious to all as to why.
I also think DS/MWJ know they are on thin ice and can't that kind of fall out.
