However if we are extremely successful, our fan base will grow exponentially. If we drop down the league, we will attract new support at a slower rate.
With FFP we need to build our popularity to boost income.
I fear we have become too prudent this window and risk losing out to Utd or Chelsea.
The football world expected us to invest and become stronger when we won the PL, todate we have not done this.
Not necessarily although look at the last two seasons on here including the premature wangst last season when we went behind late in the season. I was only speaking in terms of our transfer (or lack thereof) activity. Lose it because of a fluke refereeing decision or several and you'll get a different type of freak out. Lose it because of injuries and it will also be a different kind of freak out.SalfordCityBlue said:taconinja said:As for carnage... no, that will happen if we don't win the league.

So... yes. People will freak out when we lose. At this point people freak out when we haven't scored in the opening 15 minutes of every match.<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 24, 2012 10:02 am --<br /><br />
Loyal fans panic too if we're being honest. It seems part of a fan's nature.Plain Speaking said:Our core fans will always be loyal.SalfordCityBlue said:taconinja said:As for carnage... no, that will happen if we don't win the league.

The window is still open therefore so is my opinion on Marwood.
For example,
Boyata out,
Weiss out,
Bridge out,
Adey out,
AJ out,
Vinnys contract,
Silvas contract,
Mancini contract,
Tevez situation,
Rodwell in,
Sinclair in?
Hazard change of heart,
Agger, us holding firm on price,
Any business yet to be concluded, I don't think he's been sat on his arse doing nowt

Honestly never thought i'd see city fans become everything we stood against for decades... Its here and we've become them.. Entitled, spoilt brats....
This club is about more, our current players deserve more respect as do our current management. ALL of them.
The people who brought us the first title in so many years, then after one transfer window getting so much shit, its embarrassing.
Our team with no more ins and no more outs will be first or second in the premier league this year. Also will make it past the group stages and be a challenger for the Champions League.
Gerry Creaney anyone? Jesus...

Expressing concern we do not appear to have strengthened yet is not IMO "becoming spoilt brats," or disrespecting our players and management.
This is a fans forums and if fans have concerns they should be allowed to express them equally.
Hopefully we will strengthen in the coming week, after decades of living under the shadow of the other half, it would be a shame to only have a single season in the sun!

Fans are fans. That's the long and short of it. The whole "band of brothers" thing when you have little hope of winning year after year? A coping mechanism. That isn't a condemnation either. It's simple human nature.
It isn't "raggish" to hold a team with championship prospects to a high standard. Some people use faulty criteria to judge whether the club's standard is being met or not. That's true. But expecting to win when you're one of the best teams in the league isn't "raggish."

We've already had two seasons in the sun as far as I'm concerned and the two before that in the shade I'd say. We will have a lot more too regardless of what we do between now and September 1st imo.
