I agree with everything in your post above, but with regards the points I’ve cropped I think I’m really fortunate that I don’t interact with people like this (inside or outside of the ground) and don’t see these views on social media as I’m not on there.

I’d also say that 90% of the people I’ve interacted with on here appear to be far more rational even when opinions on the club/manager/players may vary.

I’m not saying these people don’t exist - I’m certain they do (hopefully they’re still a small minority of the fan base) - but my worry is that the ownership actually believe some of these things, which in itself brings us full circle to the original post… Have we employed people that are suitably experienced for the high profile roles they currently have?

Tell ew what Frank if you’d seen some of our fans when the whistle went yesterday you’d be astonished.
My first thought was fuck me they’ve escaped for a Victorian mental asylum.
(some of them were dressed like it too)

It tends to be social media to be honest.

The worry is that I suspect the ownership / management put a great deal of faith in the opinions of fans on social media.

100% agree on that worry, which probably comes from a lack of experiebce knowledge of the game.

I stopped going a few years simply due to life matters but I took my grandson to his first away game yesterday,I can’t remember it being like that.
It was as like someone had put a few acid tabs in bananas and thrown them into the monkeys at Bristol Zoo.

At least he’s got some role models for when he’s old enough to go on his own

Hope he enjoyed the day (as much as anyone could have) though - I think we lost something like 15 consecutive away games that I went to at one point in the late 90s!

Did you need a bodyguard as well?

 

[DJack]

It’s the ownership. They need to focus on what it is that we do, play football, and not what marketing opportunities we can bring in. Or appoint someone that will only think about the football and leave the rest to one side. We are running before we can walk. It’s the Wrexham effect to be honest. Being dazzled by the income streams that are out there and thinking ‘we can do that if only we bring in a random celebrity or five’.

For those who didn't read through Lisa's post what I believe are the critical points I've bolded.

People keep asking me for photos Clive so I took my agent.
Gutted I missed you.

 

[Ronald Parp]

A bizarre appointment that was always doomed to failure and, at some point, lengthy internet recriminations.

There would be no irony in this being a hugely important mistake that dictates our direction of travel for many seasons to come.

I only saw you when we got to our seats.
Straight up from you near the back seats 1 2 and 3.
It was a long way up, do you think I could have managed it twice.
Was going to try and catch you after the game but you'd gone

“Ethan Galbraith alone will earn the club a profit on their summer business.”

The biggest issue with the club at the moment is believing that that is important.

It makes not one jot of a difference if Galbraith will earn the club a profit on summer business.

What IS important, is that summer business at the moment, Galbraith included, is looking like it hasn’t put together a squad that is competent at this level.

Player trading matters, I get it, we all do, but it’s not the metric on which success should be measured in and of itself. It’s a metric that can be measured as secondary to ‘ can we actually do what is needed on the pitch’, namely - avoid relegation.

Much of the positivity was baseless. Many of us were less carried away with transfer business and nonsense like Snoop.

We need to get back to realising that we are a football club rather than a tick tock influencer.

Come on, Lisa. You thought we had a good transfer window as did pretty much everyone on here. Hindsight is wonderful, but I don’t think anyone expected us to be 21st at this stage.

 

[Cooperman]

Oh, they're out there alright. I spoke to a bloke in work the other week who still thinks Martin is a fabulous coach. With a straight face.

Like you it terrifies me that we might just have people like that running the football operations at the moment.

These people are still out there in droves.

I hope he had a good day, despite the result. Making memories, wonderful to see.

I thought we’d done well to fill most of the glaring gaps in our squad (save right back).

I never shared the extreme enthusiasm for the actual players we’d signed that some did. In fact, I was criticised quite a few times for saying how ludicrous it was when people were talking about pissing the league because we signed a midfielder from Orient for a million quid.

I also made quite a point of criticising the decision to not sign O’Brien and gett8ng the spine right.

I didn’t expect us to be 21st, no. But I said throughout that I didn’t expect anything other than mid table.
