excellent last paragraph...........
"Some observers admire this club for its refusal to bend to the realities of modern football, and maintenance of high principles. But while it's all very well having a Unique Selling Point, it's another thing entirely when that refusal to change just results in ever more precipitous decline. Within the last week, Ipswich Town demonstrated their very obvious ambition by appointing Roy Keane as manager, and promising him substantial money to spend on players. Ipswich were taken over last season by someone who is considered good enough as a donor by the Liberal Democrats, but wouldn't have passed Delia's fit and proper person test in a million years. Their future is risky, hard to predict in the longer term, but bright; ours - the fabled community club - is all set to be at our lowest level in almost 50 years. The contrast could not be more stark: and if one group of people are to blame above all else for the decline of this football club, it's Delia Smith and her board. And - perhaps worst of all - I don't think they've learned a thing throughout the entire journey."
fits in with our happy clappy fans - accepting our plight, clapping and waving at delia after losing at ipswich.... clapping and waving on the players lap of honour last night.... we aint going no where but down with this mentality.
