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.

The accounts do not say that.

Personally, I can take or Leave MC. OK, he did save the club but you cannot ignore that he has had a considerable amount of involvement in our demise as a SL club. The thing that annoys me is that when he came on board I distinctly remember him stating that, "His door is always open" (It wasn't), He "would act honestly" (that's been debatable), and during the final period of his tenure his only engagement with the fans appears to be when he wants money off them. I'm not over sad that he will be leaving.

As much as relegation hurts, the money had to go where IMG and their silly little point scheme dictated it go. Belle View may still be a bit rusty in certain areas but others look tons better than even just over a year ago. The board clearly worked to increase our point score and make some of the changes we had been promising for years but never delivered on. These changes were made to ensure we stand a chance of being in the top division when the point system comes in and I applaud them for that. Yes the team was poor, but if we get back up due to the ground improvements I think people may start to regret their negativity towards the current men in charge.

The ground alone will not support a return to SL, we have to also gain enough points on the other sections of the strategy.

You can add as many "yes buts" as you like but we are in a much better place than we were because of the improvements to the stadium and the work done to make the finances more favourable.

And you don't have to wait and see. You can go through the handbook and try andcwork out other teams scores.
I look forward to your feedback.

It's alright scoring all these points and the money it costs, but what about the thing that really matters, The Team, and the product on the field. Not much good getting a A with a duff team.
I don’t get the logic of it all.
All this for 12 elite teams, when the grass roots of the game is in a terrible state.
