Everybody wants - and expects more - particularly after success
Go look at any clubs fansite and I will guarantee you that at least 80% of them will be unhappy and either want the manager out or boo the players performance. Leicester fans are unhappy, Brentford are, Burnley are, Chelsea are....
Social Media has a lot to blame for this as it stirs up discontent but often supporters don't ever want to accept or understand that the opposition might actually be quite good with decent players and a good manager. Nope they just see them as fodder and expect to win (by 3 or 4 goals playing attacking football) every game. Lucky we have no one with those expectations on this site ....
There are very few satisfied teams. Everyone expects more. Ipswich are an exception as they have massively overachieved this season so their fans are happy. Same is true of Luton. However if they beat that level next season or at least match it then watch the difference in feedback.
Bottom line is many supporters have no idea - just have expectations which are either slightly or massively beyond realism.
