SS has intimated strongly that NC will be with us next season.
Many fans are seriously considering ST renewal and if they can stomach another season of NC style football.
I consider myself a moderate, but football under NC is the most boring in 40 years of supporting Pool. What we’ve witnessed this season was evident in the second half of the season, in his first stint in charge. I see stubbornness and arrogance, things that I don’t envisage will change.
We’ve had many poor squads and much worse seasons, but for me, there has generally been a connection between fans & players. It feels to me, that the life has been sucked out of players & fans. Apathy is very evident and that is disastrous for any club and owner.
Sadly, SS made a huge error recently when he backed NC for next season. Where was the pressure for the manager to think again?
So, it’s now a game of poker and I don’t see fans blinking on ST purchases, unless NC is removed. Yes, there will be renewals, but not at the level he’s seen since buying the club. It won’t just be a few hundred.
We need hope ahead of next season, to get the feeling back. I have none at present.
Finally, I hope SS realises that the fans are behind him. The fact that fans haven’t been more vocal in the ground about NC is, in part, out of respect towards SS.
