    if Sarr, Suarez, Capoue and others are deliberately excluded to allow us to lose.

    I will be writing to the club to inform them that after 42 year I'm ceasing to support them under this ownership. I'll give up my season tickets and unsubscribe from all their media.

    If this club thinks it can treat the football matches we play with such casual contempt, then I will no longer be wfcmoog. Just moog.

    This club doesn't deserve fans. It treats us like idiots. Many of you deserve this, to be fair, but I'm not going to stand for it. **** this club and the owners.

    What about those of us who are actually idiots?

    Well if we are paying them good money we should play them.

    Clubs aren't going to sign players who haven't played are they?

    We’ve changed all their insurance premiums to the equivalent of being kept in a locked garage during the day

    I imagine it’ll be like those abandoned buildings that mysteriously set on fire. There’s good money to be had if Gino waits long enough.

    As I stated in the Ivic thread, he's basically said we've run out of players. Despite saying that at least two others were fit and ready to play. Those two, of course, are linked with moves.

    I want to say so much, but I've decided to seal my lips until the transfer deadline day has past.

    That is unless we actually start playing the best players available to us regardless of whether we are trying to sell them or not, as the current situation is unacceptable IMO :mad:

    Why doesn't he just play them? Would they really know until the team is announced just before the game?

    So we lost in the League Cup like we do every year. If we want to play our reserves and lose to Luton, then fine. I can’t be bothered to watch games these days so I’ll miss it, and I don’t care about Luton any more than I care about Arsenal or West Ham.

    But I’ll never stop posting positive posts on here in support of the Pozzos. Why? I really don’t know what drives me to do it. Why am I even writing this? What is even my point? I don’t have one.

    Vis-a-vis, in conclusion, it’s a good thing we’re playing our reserve players. Do you get it now?

    One day, when I have grandkids, I’m going to tell them we were little old Watford, paying £60 to lose 6-0 at Wembley. And we waved flags, and I’ve never been more proud in my life.

    It was all down to the Pozzos #in Gino we trust.

    It's impossible to know what is gonna happen this season until transfer window closes.

    It's s obvious the owners are trying to sell them. It's obvious those players want to go. It's now becoming increasingly obvious no one wants them at the price we want to sell.

    It is fairly obvious that the transfer window is going really poorly for us and that is unlikely to change.
    The Jokers have royally messed up and continue to do so.They continue to be less than honest with us and are almost treating us like fools.
    Unless there is a change of direction soon the goodwill generated will be completely forgotten and then they will have lost the fans.
    A few pivotal weeks are ahead.Let's hope things work out for us and that we can all get back to supporting the club and team.

    Go to your bedroom and think about what you've just said. Don't come down until you're ready to apologise

    Why bother writing to them ? Do you honestly think they will care ?

    Dave Messenger will read it, then at some point Duxberry give him a minute of his time, where he will try and get across how pissed off the fans are. Duxberry will nod vigorously and make reassurances, before the meeting quickly ends and Duxberry goes back in his office and celebrates when his screwed up notes land in the bin from the first throw.

    Absolutely not, but it's cheaper than the banner and airplane idea.

    Of course nobody at the club will care, but I'm just a fan. My greatest sanction is withdrawing my support. That's it. I might as well at least tell them when I do so.

    Bending over and accepting this destruction of our club and history is not OK by me. Ok I'm just one voice, but if 3000 had the guts to do the same, then I dare say that someone would listen.

    I'll be more certain still about the outcome once all the games are played.

    Neither Suarez or Capoue are fit unless anyone has actual evidence they are. The Sarr situation is frustrating and it appears to be holding the club back from either playing him or balancing the books and moving on.

    But of the others Deulofeu, Janmaat, Hughes, Deeney, Success, Gray all unfit. Welbeck, Pereyra, well who wants them for this campaign anyway?

    It’s a proper crisis, but it’s not clear how any recently relegated club would deal with it when moving players on is so hard. We can’t shift highly paid unfit players? No surprise really.

    The problem was getting relegated. Shame on the board for allowing it to happen. But now it’s roll the sleeves up time.

    We have a mystery injury/illness crisis that only strikes at players who are actively being marketed to be sold? Does that seem likely?

    I don't believe a word that this club comes out with.

    probably better to wait until the start of the 21/22 season before counting your chickens, just in case a retroactive points deduction is imposed during the summer

    I don’t know why Ivic would lie about Suarez and Covid. If he is lying then he is just as bad as any of the others and can take plenty of the blame for our crap performances. Capoue hasn’t suddenly become unfit either.

    What a mess. I think many fans would be staying at home even if there was no covid in disgust. No fans in the ground
    has disguised the unrest many of us feel atm. How many fans have we lost over these last 12 months? A loss to scum would be even more painful given how far above them we have been for decades. We now face the cold reality of a financial struggle for the foreseeable future. UNLESS WE PUT OUT A TEAM THAT CAN BEAT LUTON

    I thought you were a bit more sensible than this moog.

    You're already having a Nath-style mini-meltdown about something which hasn't even happened yet.

    It's almost as if you're jumping the gun on it because you're actually really keen to have an excuse to throw your toys out the pram.

    Exactly. The happy clappers will be saying the same if we win. Fair's fair.

    You're not even making any statements or predictions in the opening post which would count for an "I told you so".

    You're saying "if we lose" and "if [...] our best players are sidelined".

    A prediction would be you claiming that "we will lose" and "our best players will be sidelined".

    Unless you plan on doing an "I told you so" for your having thrown your toys out the pram at the end of the match in case the "ifs" happen, in which case it hardly seems something worth boasting about: "I told you I'd have a Nath-style mini-meltdown if we lost and didn't play our big players, and now here it is" - whoop-de-doo.

    Finally given up trying to get @Burnsy to argue with you?

    Whilst I do agree with Moog on this on the whole, playing devil's advocate, does any of us actually know what's going on behind the scenes?

    I suppose evidence does suggest that players are not playing where there is interest i.e. Estupinan but at the end of the day football is a business and Gino has to protect an asset if there's solid interest. It's a difficult balancing act.

    Nice attempt at dodging what I'd written there.

    Don't worry, if you do have a mini-meltdown after the match I'll make sure to remember: "well moog did predict he'd have a mini-meltdown".

    However, it appears your mini-meltdown has already started before the match has even happened.

    By the way, I do object to the use of 'mini.'

    Do you approve of the phrase "Nath-style total meltdown"?

    I like to believe that it's my own style but I accept that the nuance might not be clear to the uninitiated.
