That’s fine mate, but a group of lads, picking on one lad for contrary opinion - mocking the lad personally is wrong. It’s not what this is place is about. As you say if those broad strokes deviate from the group think and are able to pick or bully one lad personally that becomes normalised, permissions are created, it becomes less about the issue and more about the individual, I dont like bullying - especially when they hardly light up the forum themselves and don’t have that weight to throw around.

The opinion wasn’t even that unreasonable, take Peter Johnson - he was a stain on the club - but you will get many people saying he built the park end. The poster was making a similar point about DBB - I might not agree - but it doesn't justify being called a bellend and being personally mocked by about 10 on 1, that’s neither unity or debating, or being a blue for my money.

Or maybe the majority of the forum can see what foreverblert92 is, and you can't.
Apologies to foreverblert92 if I've hurt his feelings.

There's a difference between keeping the powder dry regarding adulation and writing lads off after 1 or 2 games.

I've said Simms and Cannon are Championship level forwards which is currently true. I also said Gordon wasn't a top player which is also true.

You could see with Rooney & Barkley that you had PL quality players on your hands. Barkley obliviously never reached his potential for likely off the field reasons but I think this debate comes down to which fans can spot a talent and which ones hope for a talent.

They're two totally different tings and you see too much of the latter when it comes to our yoof which is why you get fans going OTT and chasing after players driving out the ground when reality kicks in that players like Gordon aint the next messiah. If they had just judged with nuance you'll see much less fume about the place.

But we did still have £170m in sellable assets in Lukaku, Barkley and Stones so we still would’ve had money and been able to spend.

for how long though, knowing our board pre Moshiri, we would have still had the £4-£5m a year Chang sponsorship. Things only started falling apart when Putin waged war, can't blame Moshiri for that. Don't forget we had Martinez and Kenwright...with no money, think Alcaraz, it would have got a hellavalot worse.
