You appear to have wiped 2 administrations from your memory. There isnt a 2nd division, its League 2 and we have never played in it.

It still doesn’t make sense what you said though, you stated we were always competitive financially, well obviously being in administration twice, regardless of who it’s down too, we were NOT competitive financially

The only fans that are really spoilt in the PL are those of Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, and Man City (albeit only since their takeover). I suppose you can throw Spurs in there too.

Their fans only ever have to worry about whether they are going to win something. There is never any fear of relegation. They live on a different sphere to supporters of every other English club and each week rub shoulders with thousands of tourists and receive hundreds of hours of discussion and analysis in the media.

Anyone who has ever stepped foot in our stadium would struggle to say we are spoilt. Anyone who has watched us in most of our current tenure in the PL would struggle to say we are spoilt. Had you asked me 11/12 years ago when I was sat in a half-empty stadium in freezing conditions watching us lose 0-1 to Stoke while a guy screamed c**t at every opportunity, had you asked me then whether I would feel spoilt to have over a decade in the PL, then yes, maybe then.

Some are spoilt by their mummy, probably.

Those making all the critical noises are certainly rather delusional, irrational and unrealistic.

We are passing through another very difficult period when too many unexpected things have coincided. It isn’t the first time and won’t be the last but it will end.

Where we are when it does is an unanswerable question but wherever it is we must go on encouraging and supporting.

Constant criticism, confrontation and downright aggression creates division and demotivation.

It’s that which is more likely to result in relegation than anything else.

So leave the managing to the manager and the choosing of the manager to the owners. Our job is to support.

Couldn’t have put it better. The I’m a better fan than you argument just does not wash and to even contemplate that online criticism affects results is fanciful at best.
