    I've completely lost all emotion about the situation. In fact, I don't even know why I'm writing this because I simply don't care any more. I read on here much knowledgeable stuff from our financial- and business-minded posters, about unpaid loans, return on investment, player sales and values, the "plan", ownership structure, title deeds, Hong Kong companies, alleged "billionaires", court battles, new stadium, shared stadium, closing stands, opening stands, bread, free drinks, worthless vouchers, seasonal memberships, divisional retention, spreadsheets, whatever.

    It's not a football game any more. It's a business project which, by any measure, appears to be a spectacular failure. I only know who we're playing on Saturday because I've read it on here. 2 years ago it would be impregnated in my mind. I can't remember the last match I went to, not got the foggiest clue. But I still appear in the attendance stats to this day.

    I've totally lost all interest, it's not football any more, and it doesn't hurt when we lose, which apparently we do quite a lot. I've found other things to do on match days. I've had enough of it.

    I totally agree. I’m not really clear why you have decided I’ve said anything different to this. Last season there were factors, internal or external, that acted in our favour. This season, factors within the power of the people owning the club, have acted against us. Luck not involved.

    I know you haven’t . I was replying to your post and referenced that someone had suggested we were lucky in the post .
    You then questioned what I meant by lucky which I went on a rant to explain which you seem to think I was referencing you said it .
    Crossed purposes but my meaning still stands .

    When you have a player on the field boll****** his team mates like Morris was last night, you just know they’re not getting it from the coach.
    That’s a lack of leadership, not technical knowledge.

    Looking at the results tonight, I’m fairly convinced the bottom three will be Barnsley, Peterborough, and Reading.

    Quite a poor show if a team starting on -21 can finish above three other teams.

    A team starting on -21 with a transfer embargo

    A transfer embargo that let them get a Premier league player in Jageielka for the first half of the season.
