The Great Dane 4 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Does anybody believe that anyone holds the club dear to their heart anymore or is it just a day job to the players/management/boardroom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlBear. 8,499 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think we know very little not just about our current situation, but the day to day situations at a football club in general.I still find it extremely hard to believe that men like McCoist and Durrant do not love the club, perhaps not the same as the average fan though.

Inigo 32,526 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Sure they do. In terms of the players, we just tend to think on here that if they're shite it's because they hate us and they're purposely, vindictively trying to hurt us.Sometimes people are just shite.

j1mgg 3,766 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think we have two polars here, you want players that love the club and run through walls, but day to day staff I don't think it will really matter, in some cases they may be able to make the decisions that need to be made without and sentiment.

Big Al 55 9,248 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 We need to be cautious, make no mistake this is a war, as it turns out a war of attrition. Like all wars you are spoon fed propaganda and mis-information, those who are sure they know exactly what's going on are the most gullible of them all.Those who can see both sides are equally culpable are by far the wisest.

TMB 14,167 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Does anybody believe that anyone holds the club dear to their heart anymore or is it just a day job to the players/management/boardroom?The individual board members are there to represent the interests of whoever maneuvered them in to that position. They're their to push their clients interests not the clubs but often those two can go hand in hand. I think the likes of Ally, Durrant, and McDowall are just done, they know they're done, and they're just hanging on for one last pay cheque before retirement. I don't know if we have any players that "hold the club dear". McCulloch perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
