Exactly this! Some of the posters on here are pathetic. The negativity and arrogance isn’t the club, it is the fans. We should be signing this player, we should be spending this. Maybe players don’t want to come here? Maybe they see fans who moan and scream when players have poor form and see a club with general discontent around it, flowing from fans.
Maybe players want exit clauses which we aren’t prepared to give. Maybe players are settled in a particular area and have a young family and don’t want to move. This is not football manager, we don’t get to just pick who we want and sign them. However, so much easier to say well we should be ashamed he hasn’t come to us and picked somewhere else over us. If we were in for him and made a good offer and he picked another club, why would we be ashamed. I for one wouldn’t want a player to come here unless they really wanted to come here. We have done the sign big names, pay big money game and it didn’t work at all did it.
Supporting a club is about ups and downs, you don’t leave early, you don’t stop attending games. Really some of it on here is an embarrassment and why I imagine a lot of posters or readers don’t bother getting that involved.
Yeh it's all the fans fault....
People who pay the wages of the players and the coach have every right to criticise.
The whole point of the frustration is around why players are choosing other clubs.
There's something very wrong if they are.
You might not be, but I would be embarrassed if Croft were to choose Leigh over Leeds. No matter what the reason.
And yes, signing big name players like Buderus, Webb, Peacock, Senior, Ellis, Lautiti did work well actually.
