Happy clappers / losing mentality

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Is it time for the club to ditch some of our less successful fans in order to progress? It still seems there is a significant number of fans that think staying up, CL qualification year after year and 8 out of 12 domestic trophies, centurions and the quadruple is what success looks like. These are the sort of fans who think just finishing comfortably second, winning just one domestic cup and getting knocked out in the later stages of the CL is acceptable. Does this undermine the 'winning mentality' of our team and undermine our attempts to have legendary European nights in our quest to become 'European royalty''? Maybe we need to upgrade some of the older fans as well as get a decent manager?

Yes Ric is already planning an IP address based filter to block happy clappers on the forum. That will certainly change the mentality of the team.

It’s fair to say that they don’t overthink things. Maybe this is why they don’t like Pep.

I'm just glad we got to 40 points this year as we once played York City.

Like the hitler in the bunker video, anyone who was at york away, the hill at Blackburn or at stoke in may 98 has to leave the room now. i realise this is a lot of folk - particularly the 100k that went to york, but if they all go it will allow the team to progress.

I’m equally as gutted that the Euros were postponed as I was sure Pep was going to win them for us for the first time.

Theres appreciating what we are now compared to years ago, then acknowledging completely ridiculous mistakes made the manager in big games which make or break the teams reputation. If we played like a Wolves tonight for example, we could of won, instead we played like a team on the decline when there was no reason to do so.

Personally, I think it’s time we get new owners that understand English football, what it takes to build a successful club, and who will really connect with the fans on a deeper level.

Someone like the Glazers. Or Mike Ashley.
