    When will the blind optimism for next season start?

    I refer the Honourable Gentleman to the last word of his username.

    When will the blind optimism for next season start?

    That's an unfounded generalisation based on an invented assumption to suit your agenda.

    When will the blind optimism for next season start?

    Speak for yourself. It's nothing to do with 'docile inertia' for me or, I believe thousands of others. (Anyone who can afford to buy a season ticket through 'docile inertia', must have more money than sense!) It's everything to do with supporting BHA. I'm really not bothered what the club...

    I hope Tony is as utterely distraught (privately) as I am

    I don't normally agree with much you say but in this case I do!

    I hope Tony is as utterely distraught (privately) as I am

    He could get 1000 thumbs up, but that doesn't mean he's right, just that those people have the same opinion as him. My opinion is that he's wrong. So when close friends and relatives die, you are merely disappointed, but when our football club has a poor season you are distraught? Strange...

    I hope Tony is as utterely distraught (privately) as I am

    Utterly distraught?? A bit OTT surely? I've been utterly distraught after the deaths of people close to me, but never about football. The closest was when I thought the Albion would cease to exist after the sale of the Goldstone, but surely a poor season is nowhere near that bad in the scheme...

    Mostyn/Barber

    What is there to discuss? No-one on here has the slightest clue what Mostyn does on a day-to-day basis and, for that matter, what Bloom or Barber do on a day-to-day basis. Most probably hadn't even heard of Mostyn before today!

    Hang your heads in shame...

    I think you are reading far too much into those phrases. 'One Club, One Ambition' was a bit silly because it is surely stating the glaringly obvious! We are one club and we do have ambition, but ambition doesn't mean a guarantee or a promise. As hard as I try, I cant find fault in 'Premier...

    Hang your heads in shame...

    As had been said many, many times on NSC the 'Premier League ready' quote was directed at club staff and was referring to the infrastructure of the club. It did not mean that we had a Premier League team and we have never been promised promotion. The dream and the hype that you talk about in...

    Have this feeling that all will not be well in summer.........

    I agree that making predictions can be fun ... but not when they are totally negative and often serving someone's anti-club agenda. If we make predictions based on the players we have at the start of next season, that will be fun. If we do so now, not having a clue what the budget is or who...

    Have this feeling that all will not be well in summer.........

    Quite the opposite! Far too often we are reading and discussing things that are pure speculation, guesswork or invention, and are based on zero knowledge of the facts. Then these things become the 'truth', the discussions are prolonged on this assumption of the truth, and much criticism...

    Woeful season, but potentially invaluable lessons learned for the future?

    So is Bournemouth's business model based on paying as much as it takes to get quality players in, regardless of how much that amounts to? And what if every club in the division were able to follow that sort of business model ... someone will still finish 26th! What do you say to the chairman...

    Woeful season, but potentially invaluable lessons learned for the future?

    It's all so simple isn't it? The club identifies the quality players it needs, we offer to pay the transfer fees and wages that they and their agents demand - the 'market rate'. If other clubs offer more than the 'market rate', we outbid them and we keep doing so until we get our man...

    Woeful season, but potentially invaluable lessons learned for the future?

    Do we really need a forensic examination of the Chairman's travel arrangements to prove what was said and done? You can try to 'deduce' as much as you like, you'll never know all the facts and does it really matter any more?

    How do you know they weren't 'football people' too?

    Football programmes, are they outdated?

    I choose to buy a programme because I want to. If it were simply a matter of what I perceive to be 'good value', I wouldn't buy one, but that goes for many things we buy. Is a pint of water slightly flavoured with hops or barley good value at £3+? Not at all, but I still buy plenty of it...

    Charlie Adam

    But the majority view on NSC of re-signing BZ has always seemed to be 'Never go back.' After all, we wouldn't want to sign a current Premier League player capable of scoring goals like that, would we ...?

    What difference does it make if he does it before of after the match?

    So how many Season ticket holders for next season?

    In an earlier post you said " People who make a choice to stop buying STs are not fairweather as you put it, they are just realistic.." In this post you say that the club need to "provide entertainment and a quality competitive squad again to get people back." So some must be fairweather...
