Our fans ARE PRAYING WE WILL LOSE TODAY 13:05 - Aug 11 with 30180 viewsTheResurrection

This is what we're up against.

Some won't even be there but if we went a goal down they won't be able to get to their keyboards quick enough.

This is what we were up against last season. Some of our fans, especially the ones posting on here, WANT us to fail.

Beware of the enemy within.

I don’t believe many, if any, want us to lose. I do believe that there are quite a few that revel in it when it happens though.

I want some new additions as much as anyone. In fact without them I think we are in for a right scrap if we can’t play our best team in every game.

Tuesday and yesterday though was I thought exactly what we can expect this season. Inconsistency from young players and currently, a scratch team and coaches getting to know each other. There’ll be lots more of this (good and bad) throughout the season. Expectation levels were getting a bit silly anyway I reckon. Brizz were better than us. Yesterday, that is. If we played them today we might be better than them. That’s what happens with a young inexperienced team. For example Celina is a promising player, but to think he is going to be brilliant every week is ridiculous. He is young and developing. I’m going to enjoy the journey this year, good or bad. I think the actual strategy is absolutely the right one.

As long as we get some reinforcements in the obvious areas that is. The team is screaming out for them.

Perhaps the Res was right. Perhaps it is in the interests of those who monetised their love for the club for us to have a couple of poor years. Perhaps some of them are praying we will lose. Perhaps they see an opportunity to squeeze more out of us, sorry I meant the club. Perhaps he can tell us. Perhaps.


Squeeze more out of you? Are you actually being serious here?

Do you even go these days mate?? Perhaps. Perhaps??

No I'm not, I'm just pointing out that having lost some could see some benefit to it. No real Swans fan would be 'praying' that we lose any game.

Personally I don't trust the yanks to sanction many moves whether we win or lose anyway.


Your last sentence is spot on chief

Its going to be a tough 5 months

Bullshiiite thread. The people speaking out against the board are doing that purely because they don't want us to lose. They don't want the board hanging Potter and the youngsters out to dry. They are speaking out because they want us to win


It's actually quite sickening. Some people's egos have totally run away with themselves on here. The "I'm right and the rest of you are wrong" narcissism is totally reminiscent of what happened with Cardiff fans when Hammam was at war with Tan and fans ended up taking sides.

Although this situation is much more bizarre, we all know what has happened.

The actions of the old board have been well documented, selling their souls and the club to make a few million following the unbelievable JTAK marketing exercise, the side lining of the trust, the out of hand rejection of another consortium who would have served the club better in the long run and selling to a fund that was only ever going to take money OUT of the club (after promising the fans that the consortium was going to take the club to the next level.

But even after all of this there are some amongst us who will shout down reasonable criticism and even try to rewrite history just to defend the previous board , whitewashing the above with the JTAK fairytale and that we should be grateful for what we had (7 seasons in the PL which no Swans fan I know hasn't praised them for).

Those 7 seasons and the good times we had (which we're all grateful for) however do not grant immunity for those self same people from criticism when things have gone so badly wrong . The board post Laudrup (including the time after the club was bought by the Americans) have micromanaged a quite dramatic falling off in our effectiveness in the transfer market with some eye watering waste and in the process going through nine managers in 4 and a half years.

That waste has effectively crippled us in the transfer market and prevented us from strengthening at a time when we most desperately need to do so. We have the basis of a good , young and exciting team led by the best manager we have had since Laudrup.


The defence coming in to deflect or nullify such criticism and indeed the demonization of such critics is coming from within the fanbase. It's clear that this is far more sisnister than any kind of the usual run of the mill wumming that happens on football messaging boards. It can be attributed to a form of Narcissistic behavioural disorder or the activity of paid stooges or propagandists, or a mixture of both.


I'll leave people to make up their own minds.


Oh, and by the way this is coming from somebody who felt sick to his stomach that we lost yesterday. Totally down over it and the glaring cracks within our squad (only a couple but they are deep ones) we there for all to see. And those cracks, which have had no inkling of being addressed worry me.

"The football squad we will take into the Premier league from now is arguably the best since we've been here"

In that one sentence is enough proof of a cluelessness and support for Jenkins and the owners that defies logic. That "arguably the best squad" provided the worst football, the least heart and fight that we have seen since we were in league 2!!
As for the commercial aspect.......this season won't see the big drop but next season will see a drop, season ticket sales will plummet as fans will refuse to put money into a club that is being used as a cash cow by a priviliged few. If all these cuts continue we'll be the richest club to drop into the conference!! Ok, I may be exaggerating, I hope.
I wasn't praying we'd lose but I have been worried our good start would give the owners the excuse not to invest, which apprently it has. By the time the penny drops it will be too late. I don't know if they are businessmen because to me, hedge funds aren't about good business nexessarily. They are about profit in any event, no matter what they have to do.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

I expect many like me fancy buying the new home jersey, spending extra money on cup games and food and drink in the stadium just to support the club. It's not happening unless the owners show proper financial support to the manager.

The club has a Press Dept and I would be very surprised if they weren’t active on Planet Swans, SCFC2and the Jack Army forums in addition to Twitter and Facebook. Lots of companies and groups try to manage their PR.

What if I am? What if it's the popular opinion that's wrong? You're all so sheepish you wouldn't be able to think for yourself.

Monmouth has summed it up perfectly a few posts ago, is he suffering from the same disorder?

Everyone wants to jump on bandwagons, you don't have to be narcissistic to be able to think and act for yourself.
