I agree with this but it still doesn't really relate to what I said?

To me the managers have all served up similar levels of dross. Martinez was a breath of fresh air first season. Then the players seemingly couldn't think for themselves. You instances of limited footballers keeping hold of the ball for too long because it was Martinez's "philosophy". A good intelligent footballer should know when to keep it and when to get rid regardless of anything else. They should also know how to defence a set piece, you get taught that in school.

Moyes is a loser. He was a loser with a plan though I suppose.

Through all the managers since Moyes we have suffered through shocking decision making on the pitch. Basic stuff in a lot of cases. Everyone says we need a leader, and we do because leaders usually have some form of intelligence to them. Right now its like we make the same mistakes but nobody bothers to rectify them.

If Moyes is a loser then RM is a fraud. Come on at least Moyes got us to 6th and 7th and stabilised the team.
 
Times up, shouldn't be allowed to see out the season with the garbage he has offered up. The couple decent players we have will be asking to leave at seasons end unless something is done. Never wanted Silva here in the first place, nothing about him screamed winner. Move on
 

Who wouldn’t sack Big Sam - he was the old regime’s appointment. He then appointed Keegan for the fans, but his inexperience at the time shows in how he undermined Keegan. Kinnear was not meant to be the manager either remember.
They got relegated, then Houghton got them up, who was then fired as they wanted a more proven manager, which I think was a mistake.

After that they have done alright, despite the fan despising the regime for all that had happened before. They are never going to be a great shakes, but Ashley more or less just let’s the managers get on with it. He has also been trying to sell the club as he doesn’t want the hassle any more, but he has never flung in the towel like the guy at Sunderland, who just let that team implode.

They got relegated again. How is that "done alright"?

And Big Sam had Bolton in Europe and moved to a "bigger" club. He was a high profile premier League manager until turning into what he is today
 
I'm utterly disillusioned to be honest. I don't have faith in anyone. Not the players. Not the manager. Not the owner. Not the board.

The football is disgraceful. The results are embarassing. The effort isn't acceptable. The money wasted is actually a bit sad in perspective.

No one should be happy. No one should tolerate this. But we are so far beyond the point of no return where I doubt anything can be done to sort us out. We are a toxic club right now. A poisoned chalice. Bordering on a basket case.

We merely exist. Have done for years.

Not good enough to compete for stuff, not bad enough to be embroiled in a relegation dogfight. We are just there, we may come 7th in a good season, we may come 9th in a bad one, so what?

No wonder its quiet in the ground, nothing means anything. We change everything around yet the results are the same. In the past few years we have played under Martinez and Allardyce, two of the most polar opposite managers you will ever see, yet the results are still the same, tedious mind numbing mediocrity.

There are worse clubs to support out there in terms of what is thrown at them (imagine being a Blackpool or Orient fan for example) but at least they have stuff to care about.
