Hope; you're a bastard.

[Houso]

With every manager that has left the club I've felt less and less relief, and more apathetic resignation.

*shrug*

A quote from me after Adkins went. Enthusiasm at an time low. Little joy at Wilder's appointment. Not unhappy with the new boss, but certainly not excited. The apathy was like a warm blanket. Where there's no hope, there's no disappointment.

In steps Wilder.

He starts talking more sense than any manager in recent memory. And addressing positions that have needed sorting for seasons. And being open about those players who have stolen a wage since we dropped down a division.

And then he gave us that horrible misguided bastard that is hope.

For fucks sake.

Best bloody pay that Bladesworld subscription...

Leave it out LBE, he was 67 when he played for us. Not many at that age could do handstands though.

Handstands was Budgie not John Hope , I think . Hope wasn't that flexible .. Too many beers .

If Long goes new era of goalkeeper and back 4 at the lane. Want someone mad and gobby in the net , but professional and commanding . Not asking for much .

My mistake, not hard for a man who sometimes can't remember what day it is.

What day is it?

 

[1973Blade]

Reminds me of the John Cleese comedy Clockwise. 'I can live with the despair, it's the hope I can't cope with'.

 

[Jonboy60]

What day is it?

June.

Hope; you're a bastard.

Well, I'm not sure why you'd like to know, but according to my wife I am.

Wilder Will see us reyt.
I'm not a season ticket holder,and haven't been since the birth of my daughter in 2010.
For the first time since then, I genuinely believe it's happening_a proper gutsy manager who's on the up.We've listened to the unveiling of past managers,and put your hands up if you believed the lash of gash what came from any of them???,apart from Danny,whom I thought was fantastic for this club,sacked wrongly.
Cw sounds every part totally focused,professional,on the rebound question answer,he's been briefed,oh yes,but with Chris he's genuine.No bladey bladeness,brilliantly professional.
He's got a reputation that gives me confidence.
If I had the spare 400 for a season ticket then I would ,this is the season I'd buy myself back to the fortress because I've got feeling.

[Houso]

Huh, turns out sometimes you can be hopeful after all...

 

[Sean Thornton]

From the scenes we've witnessed over the past few weeks, the clear camaraderie, the relationship with the fans etc.... We have a manager that's galvanised everyone. The players have bought into the philosophy and so have the fans.

United as one.

The players must love being part of this setup and anyone that doesn't want to be part of it for next season on a realistic wage can foxtrot oscar - it's now an exclusive club
