Thing is though it's a forum and you're going to read posts you don't like and fans are going to vent after the horrendous season we've all been through we can't pretend everything is not too bad when where heading for the championship.Im hoping M Ellis is going to bring some professionalism and hard business acumen to this club after the years of mediocrity that goes all the way back to the 1970s.

By venting, do you mean wild, libellous accusations and groundless vendettas. The fact is, MC has admitted mistakes were made on recruitment but other than that, the club has never been in better hands in all my 52 years supporting. We should be bloody grateful not spiteful and vindictive. We've gone down. This happens in sport but it doesn't negate the good they've done. Nor does it excuse the abuse dished out on here. A forum it may be but that doesn't make it a place for cowardly, anonymous attacks

Well said.
What we should be doing now is continuing our support and get behind the club in its strive to rebuild and become the club we all want!
I’ve said it before rugby league isn’t just played in SL.
I’m actually looking forward to next season already .

Me too. Some local derbies we've not had I years. More winnable games. Maybe more regular kick off times.
And we went down. Nobody died

The 2022 accounts paint a very different picture

ALL our problems started before Michael took over. He's done his damndest to put them right and has succeeded where all before failed, in getting the ground going in the right direction with the first true modern facilities we've ever had. He's been up against it all the time and he's made some mistakes the past 18 months. I for one will give the guy a break and look to the future now

Still waiting for your explanation of why they are so bad.

So you consider any supporter who does not fall into the I love MC category to be cowardly and less than those who do. I too have supported the club over 45 years and have consistently held a season ticket for the last 20. This obviously covers the current incumbents regime. I have bought a seating ticket even though for the last two years I knew I would not be able to attend. I have made my views clear so I guess you just have to live with it and accept that not everyone is grateful especially over the last few seasons. We have been relegated with only 4 wins but we should be grateful, well I think it could have been avoided with a little more spending on the squad and a better coach.
I would suggest you look at the accounts posted for last year and you may realise that they have to sell to someone with more resources or face the end of the club under JM.
In conclusion I hope you can explain to me why you are a better supporter and those like me cannot give our opinions. If you want to live in that sort of society China could be a possibility for you.
