Talking about " dubious dichotomies", isn't this piece of yours an embodiment of one itself?
On the one hand you're irrationally criticising Clive for having the foresight to be prepared for what is a perfectly logical assumption, based on the general culture in football across all the major leagues, i.e. to make the Head Coach/ manager the scapegoat whenever all things head south, as if its a direct, personal betrayal of said Head Coach.
Then in the next breath, you criticise the Head Coach yourself and show some level of support for the Chief Scapegoater, namely the CEO.
Of all the supposedly non black and white issues that we've debated on this Forum over God knows how many years now, I would suggest this is actually one of the more straightforward and authentically black and white ones!
It's never a "mild note" from you is it, but either a paranoid, delusional sign of either an unwarranted personal attack, or an apocalyptic portent of impending doom that we'll never recover from.
Either way, you do appear to have a sense of grandiosity that is almost Trumpian in it's manifestation, which I would imagine doesn't make you particularly easy to be around on a daily level.
When the majority are saying more or less exactly the same thing, perhaps the person pointing the finger might think its worthwhile reflecting on what they are saying and adjusting his behaviour accordingly...
You might have hit on something there...Though judging by the fact that I've often managed to do 115 mph undetected on the M54 (allegedly, your honour ) I'm not quite sure if there's enough takers looking to whistle from Shrewsbury to Telford tout de suite..
I think this will be a really good fit for him, and, from my experience of having spent much of my early childhood in the town, I think the Salopians will warm quickly to his positivity and openness.
Unhealthy relationship? I don't think that's true, especially given we've had two big conflicts dominating the news for the past year, all the politics programmes at the weekend were focussing on why we need to increase defence spending in the light of the world becoming a more dangerous place, and the Americans have just decided to let themselves down by electing a President who is quite happy, he says, to leave the Europeans to their own devices militarily, which has many of the countries bordering Russia looking nervously over their shoulders.
Lots of people from my workplace observing the 2 minute silence in front of the TV at 11am this morning.
This club has a bipolar tendency like no other club that I'm aware of to oscillate wildly between triumph and complete disaster, and never quite reach either end of the scale.
It may like pretty bleak now, but this is usually the time when an unlikely club hero steps forward, or we get some kind of completely unexpected lucky break.
I think you hit upon the issue, Clive, when you mentioned all the Assistant Performance Directors, Assistant Assistant Performance Directors and Assistant Assistant Performance Director's Executive Assistant that we appear to have at the club - none of whom appear to be either assisting or performing..
I believe we can all think of a Dumb Barton without having to try too hard...If he's managing his namesake team, then I think we can work out where the most likely pitch side punch-up in this fine tournament is going to occur..
This "Marti out" rhetoric ignorantly forgets that this malaise was even evident in the last half-season under Mark Warburton, yet there was plenty of biblical clothes-tearing and shouts of "You don't know what you're doing" in the direction of the Board when he was let go.
As Clive repeatedly says, if you change the Manager as frequently as we do, and the results don't improve, then logic suggests that the manager is not your problem.
Crystal Meth v Newcastle Brown Ale (..although there's a fair chance of this match being abandoned, due to the players' inability to complete 90 minutes in a fit and competent manner..)
I doubt anyone has an issue with that - its the fact that you spread a whole lot of negativity based on nothing in particular which certainly irritates me consistently, as I suspect it does a number of other posters on here.
At least you've been honest enough today to admit that you don't really know what you're talking about, which is in itself some progress I suppose.
Step forward Mr. Kevin Betsy - this is your time to shine.. You'd hope that our famed Individual Program Player Coach (or whatever his official longwinded title is) will have been working around the club to bring Celar up-to-speed, seeing as the striker role should be Betsy's specialist subject.
