Disillusioned with Notts

I would not say I am not bothered but I am disillusioned with matters at the minute. We have had two awful seasons, one being almost certain relegation and then the year after it was confirmed. Now this season seems to be a total farce!

After Moniz the club really had the chance to do the sensible thing.

Employing a unknown youth team coach does not breed confidence and its just split the fan base further. Yes, I think its the cheap option. Yes, I think we have alienated managers and yes, I think we could have done better. How do you feel? Are you disillusioned with the club at all?

I think 45 years of support have taken me past the 'disillusionment' stage, and plenty have suffered longer than I have!  Even though I'm very disappointed with the appointment of Fullarton I'd describe it more as a resigned acceptance.  You just know that if Notts can shoot themselves in the foot they usually will.  My view now is that it's happened and no amount of moaning will change it, so all we can do as supporters is get behind the team and manager, and hope and pray that Ray Trew has struck lucky for once!

What right do you have to tell me I'm wrong?  You're not my Granddaughter.

There's different levels, I felt frustrated under CK - That was a very difficult season and it just seems to be the same old.

If anything, the appointment of Jamie Fullarton may see us actually reach some sort of backing from the board with regards to the manager (regarding dismissals). It's the only way things will start to change, as we cannot keep sacking them and letting go players each season. Then expect a new manager, a new squad to change things. I'm thankful for being able to bounce my thoughts out there!

After Moniz was sacked I slipped into a deep pit of despair when they appointed Fullarton I slipped even further down the pit where I found it full of black sticky mud at the bottom, I've had one hell of a struggle to climb up the slippery sides of the pit but I'm getting there. I am now at the point where @Elite_pie has described I've decided that there's no use bleating about it now as its done so we might as well go down the lane give support as best we can and hope for a miracle.

at the end of the season I will review how I feel and then decide whether to renew my season ticket.

I'm very disappointed with the appointment of Fullerton, and although I have attended every home game this season I'm not sure if I will be there against Wimbledon, I've just lost all interest ????

I wouldn't use the word disillusioned, I would use the word embittered, for we have had a golden chance over the last few years to push on from the off pitch stability that the Trews have given us yet we only seem to make the same wrong choice time & time again.

i have been disillusioned with notts but i always try to be supportive, i think fullarton has to win the crowd over and his attitude is right about how we can do that. fans want to be winning games, so if he brings that it will pass.

ps. it looks like @erindoors is not happy yet again.

I'm happy enough ,thank you. However, I do think people should stop and think before posting threats and abuse. There's plenty of fanning the flames, too.  (I don't include you personally in that!)

Its all very disappointing.

A supporter wants to see a club progress and we have just gone backwards. Under Fullarton we may go forwards finally but actually believes that right now? I dont however much I would like that.

Once the constant sackings are over it may look up.

@liampie Its not all about winning.

where are the threats? who in this topic has been abusive?

i just see and read fans expressing their opinions because we care about the club. :ermm:

Please keep comments flowing around the discussion, you can discuss things and come together around a subject which may be considered negative. It's about being there, giving fans a place to express themselves and we can't always discuss matters which make us happy.

Hopefully you will @wacky but that is your decision.

I'm a firm believer that people should respect decisions like this, yes we need all the support we can find but sometimes people need breathers.

I never said anyone has posted a threat on here. They have other media. There's been some fanning of the flames, though! Perhaps you would see things differently if you were me? And it's good to hear fans opinions, though it can be disheartening to hear people will be choosing not to support the club for the time being. I do understand the reservations, and the appointments are not made as a poke in the eye to the loyal, but because we feel they are right, for whatever reasons, at the time.

 

I often hear "we were here long before the Trews came and will be here long after they've gone." Some will even suggest I'm not a supporter. Actually, I am, and i feel we should be welcoming all supporters, new and old alike. It does not make for a lesser supporter because they are young, or because they have recently found a passion for the club. It does not mean they (we ) care less.

Custodians leave for a variety of reasons, but that also does not mean they no longer support the club. Just that they no longer fund it.

None of this is specifically aimed at anyone, but will answer a few dm's that have come my way. I'm looking forward to our next phase. I'll be there supporting Notts with more passion than I probably ought, and I hope, you all will, too. COYP

Forgive me for being slow on the uptake being a novice on here, but I've only just realised who erindoors is.  I used to know her as Poundpie in a former life!  My take on things is simple:

I find this appointment very disappointing.

I will be at the next home game to support the team and manager.

I will definitely renew my ST in the summer, whoever the owners, manager and players are. 

Anyone who makes threats or hurls abuse through any media are the scum of the earth.

I don't have a clue what a dm is.

What right do you have to tell me I'm wrong?  You're not my Granddaughter.
