offix Posted 24 September, 2008 Posted 24 September, 2008 I have just come to realize that from now on winning is no longer important! It is clear that we are going down (relegation) or going under (administration) in this season. Winning or losing individual matches is not going to change that, its no longer relevant. So there really is nothing useful that can come out of this season. What's that you say? Building for the future? Sounds great, who wouldn't want that? It is however a pipe dream. Think about the scenario: Suppose that we use the remainder of the season to build at least the nucleus of a team that can sustain us AFTER the sh%t hits the fan. What do you think will happen when that excrement starts flying? As David Armstrong said correctly on SaintsTV, even our slightly-better-than-mediocre players will get opportunities to move to other teams as soon as (or even before) relegation or administration hits, and they will take those opportunities. What do we do then? Play the 12 year olds? I have said before that Ru**rt and the traitor have killed us off, and I was asked why I would think that. This is why.
Snowballs2 Posted 24 September, 2008 Posted 24 September, 2008 Glad that you have realised winning is not the B all and end all, just as long as lots, and lots of you continue to pay up and bail Rupert out. That is the key objective for this season now !

This building-on for next season is not only utter bolllox, its a marketing/emotional blackmail con to screw people for their money now, and the likes of Illingsworth have fallen for it hook, line and sinker.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 24 September, 2008 Posted 24 September, 2008 If we dont start winning I will start supporting a new team. Man City I thinks
dubai_phil Posted 24 September, 2008 Posted 24 September, 2008 Well thinking about it over night, reckon you just got the title of the thread slightly wrong Whining doesn't matter anymore Looks like the die is cast and unless someone comes up with a new idea PDQ.......
SaintRichmond Posted 24 September, 2008 Posted 24 September, 2008 If we dont start winning I will start supporting a new team. Man City I thinks Man City ...... you don't mean that Team that has attracted INVESTMENT in spite of the World Economic Meltdown ?????? ( Yes I know there are big differences ..... I'm purely illustrating the fact that Investment IS always lurking out there )
Roman Posted 24 September, 2008 Posted 24 September, 2008 If we dont start winning I will start supporting a new team. Man City I thinks You could always try Bournemouth, Bournemouth. You could even buy it yourself. I only disagree with offix because he's a cantankerous old pessimist, whilst I am serenely optimistic. (However, the toxic combination of optimism and supporting Saints means I lead a life of constant disappointment, so maybe he has a point - and has found true happiness in being grumpy and thousands of miles away.)

I hate to disappoint you, but I don't enjoy this feeling of despair when it comes to my club, nor is it easy to be this many thousands of miles away. I would much rather be sitting in SMS for every game, in spite of the dire spectacle that our matches have become.
