Thats why i put should, instead of have been made available to answer your question.The problem is,Cloughy has said on a numerous of occasions he is happy with the budget made available to him,so either he has told porkies or he has to get us promotion.I find it strange that since the prince has gone back,our funds seem to have stopped to a certain degree.There is something telling me that all is not well and we have been told bullshit yet again.
Wiz, I know you have the club's best intention's at heart, but your comment about Clough possibly being a liar, or the Prince withdrawing his commitment, just doesn't stand up to scrutiny mate.
One thing
some of our supporter's share is a
'Woe is me' attitude. The easiest answer for this elite bunch of moaners is to point a finger and blame someone, anyone! It's as if what's been said from the beginning has been forgotten, or even more worrying, swept under the carpet because it doesn't fit with their version of how life should be. It was made abundantly clear from the beginning that the funds available to Clough would be increased the higher we went. Now I've no idea how much those funds are, and neither does anyone else apart than Clough, the Prince, and one or two other people I suspect. Yet a few up and down results during pre-season and finger's are pointed and the clouds descend.
To be honest, to suggest Clough is telling lies is pretty low in my book. I'd also suggest that the Prince, and those who facilitate his wishes, hasn't mislead anyone. When I read posts that say they were expecting this, that, or the other, it strikes me that they've convinced themselves that we'll spend relatively large amounts. Then, when this doesn't happen, they blame, even though it's themselves who've invented this scenario. They attribute these falsehoods to Clough, the Prince, and just about anyone who they feel is worthy of their irrational and confused thinking. So, some posters aren't impressed by the signings we've made? The answer's simple, either don't support the team or produce evidence to back up the claims that we've been lied to. If anyone can substantiate that we've been lied to I'll support you, but until then, base those accusations on facts, not some aberrant figment of an over-active imagination.
We seem to have one of the best managers we've had for years, possibly decades, yet the realities of managing this club seem to escape these doolally idiots. Yes, Clough will be judged in exactly the same way as any other manager. If he loses more than he wins I imagine he'll be sacked. He realises these realities as much as we do, but the one thing I do recall is that after Weir's departure there was a chorus of support for the next manager to be given time and not chop and change at the first sign of a problem. It's pre-season FFS, not a deciding game regarding promotion. Some of us need to cut Clough some slack, stop referring to him as a liar, and base any judgements that seem relevant on the facts, instead of fertile imaginations that suggest we've been lied to.
