    Exactly. It's so sad to see the club, and football in general, going this way.

    So you're original post needs editing, it has no basis.

    Sometimes principle has to come before loyalty, especially if it ensures changes for the better.

    I'm not saying that you are wrong but the issue a lot of fans have is nothing to do with loyalty or a lack of it.

    Exactly like I asked the other day. There’s no reason to support Barnsley anymore. Temporary FC.

    Yeah he worked out well didn’t he?
    The question was which other club with ambition would sell players

    Yes and you said Sunderland. I'm pointing out thathat although they sold Maja they used the money they got from the sale straight away to buy a proven league 1 goal scorer. Obviously bought a dud but the ambition was there.

    So you think Sunderland sold Maja not to cash in because he was out of contract soon but to free a place up to bring a better player in?

    No I'm not. I'm making the point that having decided to sell him due to not signing a new contract, they spent the money gained replacing him. Obviously Grigg didnt turn out better BUT he'd done the business for Wigan in league 1. We brought in Miller!

    But that wasn’t the question, they cashed in on a top goal scorer for that league at that time. They like us were trying to gain promotion (and we’re ahead of us at that point) and sold arguably their best player, therefore they too were another team with ambition who sold (which was the question).

    I do think, paradoxically, that one can still be loyal AND make a conscious decision not to go. It's down to what the club means to an individual person I think. The history, community, personal memories, personalities associated with the club are all an intrinsic part of the club and if some people think the club has morphed into something unpalatable and don't wish to go at the moment I think that's fair enough. Same with the renewal of season tickets. Just my opinion.
