I agree with all of that Colin - absolutely and without reservation.
However, I simply refuse to lower my own standards and beliefs in TLW simply
because the manager is percieved to be at fault.
Just because Roy doesn't "get it" doesn't mean we should act the same.
Online petitions ? "Hodgson for England" ? Hoping we lose our next game(s) ?
Accepting it is OK for players to be pissed off on the field ?
That, for me, is not what TLW is about and not something I could ever
embrace in a million years, no matter how much I wanted a change of
management.
My biggest fear is that the longer this goes on, the greater the chance our
younger supporters will see it as "the norm" - and TLW will be lost forever.
So call me old fashioned, call me wrong, misguided, romantic or even
protecting my business interests ! - but I can't subscribe to any of the of
the methods we are starting to employ.
Got to work now... but I will leave you with some photos of happier days
from our breakfast with Didi last week...
