If Long AND Maguire went

[Revolution]

Revolution snr has made one change as a result of recent events, with the sale of McDonald being the last straw: having attended almost every game home and away for the last decade or so, he has stopped going to away matches.

Been through worse as a Blade to be fair

Really?

I presume you are refering to our original trip down the leagues and our ultimate humiliation of reaching the bottom run of the Football League ladder.
We were discussing this very thing on Saturday night and those of us that went through it all before (and frankly can't believe we've managed to get ourselves into a position to "repeat") were all of the opinion that we are now in a worse position both finacially and playing wise than when we did it last time.

As mentioned earlier in this thread though, at least selling the remaining two saleable assets would leave us in a very interesting position. Perhaps having no "best players" to sell would finally break the cycle that is pushing us ever downward.

Starter for 10 folks - if Long and Maguire did go, who would be considered to be our best player??

Yeah, just that it doesn't bother me as much as it did a while ago

In this transfer window.........


Would that finish you off as a Blade?

I've gone past that point to be honest. Like Raul, anything now barely raises a "meh"

As I said in my recent thread after McDonald left (Best Player) even with Long and Maguire I'm not sure who is supposed to be our best player. We wouldn't miss any of them.

It's not the results that kill you, it's the hope.

Personally I can't believe that people still think we will replace Kevin McDonald.

I've bought a season ticket this season, and for the first time in my life I've not planned to do any away trips, and if I miss a home game it doesn't even bother me like it used to, and Saturday afternoon I will be seeing Brownie junior have the time of his life at Flamingo Land instead of sitting bored out of my tits at the Lane, and this is someone who was one of the hardcore for many years

I feel the same mate. The McDonald sale might have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I've got a season ticket but I'm not going on Saturday. My mate's asked me to go up to Newcastle on his stag do starting Saturday morning. Ordinarily I'd have said I'll come up after the match or just gave it a miss, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not bothering with the Lane this week. To be honest I didn't even check if we were playing before I said yes to him.

The club just piss you off time after time. Even just in the last nine months or so, we've had the Blackman sale, sacking Wilson at an absolutely ridiculous time, giving Morgs a go at managing, and now the McDonald sale, all with very little, if anything, positive to provide any sort of balance.

They won't give a shit that we aren't going though. They've got our money so it's happy days for them.
