This pretty much sums up exactly how I'm feeling.For me, we've gone from a really likeable, grounded and respected club to something more grubby and horrible.
Lied to about FFP was appalling. The club could and should have done something about it. We are far better than that.
VAR and poor refereeing decisions have sucked the life of the matchday experience. Whilst, it wasn't anything we could have altered, the appointment of Clattenberg was, and that gave us the look of a whinging and whiny club.
Facilities that haven't improved for years. Catering that is both expensive and downright awful.
No progress on ground improvements, with everything seemingly cloaked in secrecy. Talk of moving away from our spiritual home.
The sacking of club legend Steve Cooper. Whether it was the right decision still remains to be seen, but the fact that it was an open secret that he was only there on the whim of EM, was another bad look.
Grubby membership schemes, that look more and more like money grabbing Ponzi schemes.
A team that chokes on winning games. Same old faults game after game. Players literally raping a fantastic living out of our club.
And now ST increases that really beggar belief. Made worse by the club trying to justify this shit.
I may be alone in wishing this season away but somehow I doubt it.
The club should be on an absolute high. The promotion and return to the PL of a sleeping giant was fairytale stuff. The City Ground was a fortress with the best support in the country. We should have been absolutely flying and darlings of the media.
Instead we have literally done everything possible to shit that feel good stuff down the toilet and shown routine levels of arrogance, incompetence and downright amatuer behaviour on an almost weekly basis. Everything the club touches turns to shit.
There will be a documentary about the EM years in the future and it will lay bare how farcical things have been, quite likely ending with our relegation this year due to an entirely avoidable FFP breach.
