Moving the goalposts, wanting the impossible

"We want a better fan experience" - and they got two seasons of amazing football, button badges & stickers and permission to wave flags.
"We want safe standing" - now only six months away.
We want a singing section - granted when conditions allow.
"Your football is s**t" - Deano sacked.
"We want Webber out" - tick.
"We want a side that wins matches" - happening, under our very eyes.

And still, apparently, the club needs to do more.
