The Negative Mindset of Supporters

[BennyBoyRs]

pete, people pay ALOT of money to watch rangers. if they believe we are lacking in certain positions they have every right to say so.

it's not being negative. its being honest and realistic.

expectations were too high last season. we should have slowly built a squad under one manager. instead we are back to square one.

i believe that the expectations of the fans and the board caused 2 managers to lose there jobs.

we knew we needed an out and out striker last season. one didn't come. we were told they would spend in the summer. so far they have not. now we are being told they may spend in january. january could be too late. and before we know it we are in the same very position this time next year.

why not have the best possible squad we can going in to the start of the season. all this "wait till january" annoys me big time

That, I completely agree with.

[qblockpete]

Not neccesarily saying wait until January, we play 7 games in August.

We will know by end of August. Still think Tarrabt will play as striker and score quite a few.

[BennyBoyRs]

Agree, the majority feel that a out and out striker is the final piece in the jigsaw.

problem is, proven goalscorers are rarity and most clubs want them if they are any good.

By the way, some one on this thread mentioned Kamara

4 million cash transfer and 25k a week, a bit too much

Not when the prize is a return to the big league and a prize fund of at least £30m It's not.

That, I think you have to agree with.

At risk of sounding like a stuck record...speculate to accumalate and all that.

MKPaul that is a very bold statement and speak for yourself and a few others. He has not lost any credibility IMHO. The guy travels around the country spending vast amounts of money home and away to support his club. I only go to homes games and a couple away each year. The side under Sousa was playing very boring defensive football and pete just felt that things needed to change. I do think Sousa was unlucky with injury but he still has to take a large responsibilty for boring 0-0 performances. I think this has got well out of hand and I think some of you on here just can't leave the whole Sousa thing alone. I do think we need a new striker however there is nothing wrong with being positive. I wish the new management team all the best and I am looking forward to sat and the new season.

let me ask you if it was someone on indy r's that did what pete did. would pete not do the same to them? yes he would.

i am not saying he was ordered to do it or that it was a big conspiracy. i am saying that he took it too far. at every opportunity he tried to put sousa down and people got fed up with it.

and as we saw at the time pete was in the minority. so i don't think he can be blamed for sousa's sacking. and that post from scott was meant to be a light hearted remark.

You could also say quite clearly that Report is leading the fight to have Paladini removed from the club but if that is true or not only he knows so I fail to understand why Pete is made the scapegoat for the sacking of Sousa even if I did disagree with the timing and the manner in the way it was conducted.

The only reason some are so really upset about Sousa getting the sack is because they wish to attach either Gianni or Pete in to the equation and not because of the dire football we had to encounter week in week out.

[qblockpete]

I'll get it, when Swansea win or we lose a game. Thats part and parcel.

I really believe Flavio will leave everyone alone this season and with Gorman on board he is getting plenty of respect from players along with Magilton

personally i was upset because he wasn't given enough time.

we had players saying he was the best manager they had worked with. so he must have been doing something right.

we haven't got a ready made promotion winning team. a team like that needs to be built under one manager.

[qblockpete]

It comes down to the ridiculous notion of a power struggle. O Most that commented on Sousa, shared season tickets or didn't go and endure the games we sat through.

As, I keep saying that is history. You don't get very far by looking back, you have to look forward.

In MY opinion and quite a few others (from what I read and some i know who do use the boards) but as you will see I did say I hope Pete is right beacuse at the end of the day its all about the R'ss and not personalities. Nthing personal in it .. just saying it as I see it ... not making bold statements etc.. and not doubting for a second Petes commitment going home and away etc.. but he is not alone .. unfortunatly last year I only went to home games as I have a life (only joking before someone else jumps in)

[qblockpete]

Players said they loved playing for Ainsworth, but didn't see anyone vindicate a permanant move for him.

In regards to Sousa, Hardly going to say he talked to us about the finer points of defending for 3 hours in a locked room, are they?

[rblockells]

Let's just all agree to back JM and JG,can we?,even when the team has a bad run,as they inevitably will.If we keep chopping and changing managers,we will never get anywhere.

Now theres a bold statement :what: ... didnt share my season ticket with anyone .. but saw gglimmers of what was trying to be acheived and would of liked Sousa to be given a chance to complete the job ... would he have succeded with the players back from injury and the chance to get a striker in .. we will never know

[WeAreQPR12]

Ok fair enough Paul.
I just didn't like the comment about him losing credibility.

[WeAreQPR12]

Paul I don't deny that the injurys to our BEST players did not have a huge effect, because they did. However he didn't make do with what he had. I think he ruined WR who was playing great football at cardiff. I am not a Blackstock fan, so I can't blame him for dropping him but it was the style of play that ruined any sort of entertainment.

was that aimed at me?

i didn't share a season ticket. i went to every tuesday night away game exept swansea

i think you should get down off that high horse. judging by your posts you seem to think you are super supporter. im sure if others could afford trips to sloveina they would go. i know i would.
