    As far as control over whether the manager stays, that's partly true because we've seen that our fan base won't stop fillinf the stadium, with that in mind why would they bother changing, their pockets are being lined by the fans, why would they care what they think, they probably have a good laugh about it over Champagne and Caviar tbh and why not.

    A lot of people would find it unbearable to see the manager sign a new contract simply because of the way the guy handles himself, the way he won't sign players, is tactically naive, is patronising to the fans, is blinkered in his approach and is very much one of the reasons this club has stagnated. It was pretty clear to most that this collapse was just a matter of time, it's happened almost every season for the past 10 years and to be honest you'd have to be pretty blinkered to think it wouldn't again based on our record, what's happened is no surprise, neither is the way fans like you get brainwashed into thinking it will be different this time, you see the same thing happen time and time again and yet you still believe.

    Gutted from the last 10 games.....really? This has been happening for 10 years, have you been daydreaming all that time?

    Thanks for your interest in my affairs.....but your view is immaterial to me.

    No a plastic fan is someone who only supports a team because that team is winning and will abandon them as soon as they don't win.

    If you're not gutted it means you don't care, no one is arguing it's not predictable but as I've said whilst we have no leverage over who the manager is the only recourse is to hope for the best.

    You ultimately fail to understand that distinction, it's not deluded belief that things will change its having no alternative but to hope it will change. Because to not support and want the team to win every game regardless of whether you think they can win is the only option available to someone who supports a football club.

    The only issue I have in regards to wanting Kroenke out is that the alternative is Usmanov.

    Saying you're looking at the bigger picture changes nothing, if you don't want the team to win you are not a fan. To try and dress it up like you're a gritty realist doesn't wash with me, if you are not emotionally invested in this club even if you despise the manager than I don't see why you're a fan.

    It really is that simple, for future reference I believe the nearest tube station to Stamford bridge is Fulham Broadway.
