Not wanting to be controversial here, I was just sitting in my garden at one with nature and feeling disappointed about yesterday's result. I let my mind be open, unbiased, and took a view (not trying to step on your toes Roygbiv) of who and what we are.
The results of my morning meditation are.......
We are and old fashioned club proud of our history playing in the oldest professional ground in the world.
We have an old fashioned chairman who is a proud Blade, something that possibly clouds his judgement that is usually razor sharp in the business world.
We have an old fashioned blood and guts manager who would throw himself in front of a steam roller for the club.
We have a budget that buys us an old fashioned squad of hard working honest British players that will try to the best of their ability to grind out a result.
The game has moved on from the old fashioned ways, it's full of money, young foreign talent that has evolved where English talent hasn't (thanks to Murdock and Scudimore) and it's a world that 'we' as a club are resisting but there's no going back.
It's a bit like my 94 year old father-in-law wanting banks reopened, the Internet banned and cheque books to replace digital banking, it ain't going to happen.
Then in the wings we've got old BRP. Hes building a world wide network of sporting businesses, foreign investors, strategies and goals, a shrewd business mind and backers and lawyers that seems to have caught McCabe with his trousers down in a simple business maouver. He got foreign minds (Rip Van Winkle) who he has used in his national sporting network and who appears to have great European experience (only what I've got from media snippets).
Watching Swansea's young foreign players give us a lesson in speed and one touch ability yesterday made me feel we are on the wrong path in many ways. I'm getting on but not so much to resist change if it is for the betterment of SUFC and our British mentality and squad.
Before anything changes the two owners have got to sort out their differences, an issue created by McCabe going 50/50, is he that naive he thought he'd found a Jonny foreign investor he could trust? He's trying to win the fans to his side big time, why I don't know, in the hard cold world of business who's on you side is irrelevant. There will be only one winner, if it's McCabe he will flog us straight away to a Chinese billionaire consortium IMO. If it's BRP I don't know but he obviously has plans. It might work it could be a debacle like at S6 who knows?
There, got it off my chest. Think it's going to be a long hard season where the highlight might be us winning the battle (seemingly with no one) to sign the prolific team changing waghorn who will bring speed and an attacking mentality to the slow pondering team we turned out yesterday.
I need my pills and the emmerdale omnibus cause after following my mighty Blades for 60 years I know nowt about football.
