I'm less agreeable with these statements though.
Perhaps not so bold after all, but I'm getting a little narked over all of this taking so long. To the point where my love of the club is eroding a little. I know I'll be accused of not being a real fan etc but I'm sorry my feelings for a club go much deeper than just who is running around on the pitch.
[/QUOTE] I think Bevan put it well in another thread when he said that the club are making it pretty hard to be a fan right now.
The club are making it hard to be a fan? There's that self-entitlement again. Sorry, but if you've been feeling angsty over the past six months then that's on you. Terry has consistently said his financial woes wouldn't affect the Phoenix and it looks like he might actually be right (OK, so admittedly the recruitment could be a bit more exciting but apart from that). It's not Terry or the club's fault that people chose not to believe Terry. I'm sick of hearing people whinging about how upset this is making them. It's just football. Take a Prozac and harden the f**k up (oh and maybe take a leaf out of Ahmad's book and actually do something constructive).
[QUOTE=james dean]It's hard when the guy you are cheering for is an insolvent property developer up to his neck in debt and you know that money destined for other creditors is being used to prop up the club.
That is just a comletely subjective statement, no different from a Gold Coast or Newcastle Jets fan saying "it's hard when the guy you're cheering for is involved in the rape and pillage of our planet's natural resources". Nobody had any complaints about Terry in Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 4 when things were all hunky dory, so the only issue should be whether he can afford to run the club. Terry's creditors will have their say on Friday and I'm sure they are all looking forward to it.
